Re: Newly Wed in need of a little advice...
Not sure how much help I can be on the fighting, but I will say this about Facebook: I have never heard anyone say "Facebook has been great for my marriage." In general, I think Facebook does more harm than good to relationships. It just opens up the door to too many suspicions and too much doubt. If you had even one person of the opposite sex in your Friends list, that one person would be all you need to cause your wife to get suspicious.
A co-worker and I were talking at his desk one day when he got an email notification that an ex-girlfriend had added him as a friend on FB. We talked about it for a minute and debated what he should do about it. We finally both agreed that as much as the curiosity was overwhelming to see what an ex was up to these days, no good would come out of it. That "Accept" button might as well have said "Accept the inevitability of a future fight with wife about your ex and why she's on your Friends list."
My advice: Keep your FB as bro-populated as possible. And limit your time on it altogether. It's great for catching up with friends and keeping in touch. Just use it sparingly and wisely.
