A fifth of spouses admit checking their partner's emails or text messages, according to a new study.

Entitled "Netiquette within married couples", the study involved an analysis of data from nearly 1,000 UK couples by researchers from the London School of Economics, the University of Oxford and Nottingham Trent University.

Ellen Helsper who led the study said "One of the surprising findings was that surveillance was undertaken more often by wives than husbands. This contrasts with research that suggests that women are less technologically skilled than men. It seems that they are able to overcome these barriers when they feel their relationship is at stake.''

    • If you're honest and keep the lines of communication open in the relationship then there is no need for snooping.
