Video games have been blamed as a cause of the breakdown of modern marriages - as spouses become distracted by the 'always on' internet age.
Catholic marriage counselling service Accord said that internet use has been blamed for problems in about 1,000 marriages in the last year.
It said 15 per cent of its clients faced major difficulties as spouses brought extra work home or turned to pornography, online gambling and video games.
The news comes as soap star Kim Marsh said that the game playing of ex-husband and EastEnders actor Jack Ryder left a mark on their marriage.
She's reportedly set to tell Piers Morgan on ITV tonight: "Jack didn't like to go out or socialise. He was really into computer games, which makes him sound about 12... we just weren't getting on. Jack wasn't really a party-goer. He didn't drink."
