Abstract
There are many ways that the use of technology, including gaming, enriches couples’ lives such as allowing partners to interact in a different sphere that enhances their communication. Online role-playing gaming can help couple relationships in the development of social interactions and increased understanding of gender roles and a partner's context and may appropriately increase the use of fantasy within a relationship; on the other hand, online gaming may pose unique challenges for couples. The purpose of this article is to outline the challenges related to massively multiplayer online role-playing games, including individual challenges, challenges to daily life, and threats to intimacy. We also provide specific assessment and treatment strategies that address the challenges based on a multitheoretical model regarding the influence of technology on couple relationships.
