作者：

Highlights：

• We analyze the link between SNS use, marriage well-being and divorce in the U.S.

• At the state-level, Facebook penetration is associated with increasing divorce rates.

• At the individual-level, SNS use is negatively correlated with marriage quality.

• Our results can be explained from either a causal or a self-selection perspective.
