Move Over Fred and Wilma, Lucy and Desi

According to a study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation 12% of married adults sleep alone. That’s right, they are not sleeping in the same bed as their spouses. For many, snoring is the culprit and getting a good night sleep is important, but I want to know if sleeping in separate beds is really bad for the marriage. Well, according to the stats that are floating around, more and more couples are opting for separate beds, and according to an msnliving survey, the number one eason for couples fighting in the bedroom is blanket hogging (really?). 

The National Association of Home Builders predicts within two years, 60% of custom built homes will include dual master bedrooms. 

Seriously!? We are building full on rooms because our partner is pulling the sheets to their side of the bed? Maybe buy another sheet. I mean, I guess to each their own, but for my money, I want to sleep with my wife, and no, it’s not about the sex (sex while asleep is not very good, anyway). It’s about physical intimacy and sharing something with someone so special that no one else gets to share it (save for my child when she was two-years old).

Some experts are saying that separate beds can actually make a relationship stronger. What do you think? Maybe I’m biased because I sleep with [image error]my wife, because we share our blankets, because she ignores my snoring and because we can’t afford another master bedroom. But, I think that if things were different and we were to sleep separately, our marriage would not be as strong as it is today. 

What about you?
