marriage bed(s) ping
Heck yes! The best part of being an empty nester is having my own room. My husband gets up at 4 AM every morning to go to work and support me. This way he gets a good nights sleep, as do I. He snores. I have my own annoying bedtime habits. We are much happier now that we have our own rooms.
My wife and I have been apart for about 2 weeks in over 20 years....we still luvs each other ;)
Based on extensive personal experience, I’d say it’s not good...
It seemed to work for Ricky and Lucy, Dick and Laura, Ozzie and Harriet...
Is Sleeping Apart Healthy for Marriage?....depends on whom you are sleeping apart with..........
It was not optimal.
My Mom and Dad slept all over the house. The couch, the bedrooms, the dining room in front of the window AC. A tradition I proudly carry on. I sometimes can’t sleep in my own bed. So I crash on the couch, EZboy or make a spread in front of the TV. Working night shifts also makes the marriage bedroom somewhat obsolete.
Only on nights when he has oversampled the baked beans. He gets gas so bad he could make an onion cry.
I’ve been sleeping in my own room for almost 10 years now - yep, still single.
Wait a minute. You mean some people sleep together?!

I’ve noticed that if I fall asleep in the living room chair that 4 or 5 hours leaves me feeling much more awake and refreshed than 6 or 7 hours in bed. I think it does have to do with bed movement, spouse movement, etc. That being said I don’t think I’d ever make it a habit or have separate rooms. It’s just nice to have private time together. What may be an option is two double beds pushed together. That would solve most sleep issues I would think.
Sleeping apart might be good for a marriage if your spouse is an early a.m. for work riser, smelly gas bag or a snorer.
Do to my military status..I am a 9 hrs drive from my spouse. I get to vist her and the kids 4 days a month. No enough time for her to get mad at me and kick me out of bed. It does work....lol
20 plus years and we still have a double bed. I offered to buy a queen but my wife didn’t want it. I travel a little for work and have spent about 15 nights away camping this year.
Hell Yeah it’s good for a marriage! If we had to actually sleep in the same bed, we’d kill each other.
Now if we had to share separate office chairs we’d have a problem ;o)
Except...our dog (110 lbs) Clod Hopper, didn't like sleeping with me, he kept pushing me out of the bed, onto the tile floor. So when I inherited my grandmother's antique double bed, I put it in our room and I sleep in it. Hubby and the dogs sleep in the "their" bed, although we had to recently put a blanket on the floor for one of the dogs who has developed arthritis and has a hard time jumping up or down.
However, once we started sleeping in separate beds, it seemed we both slept better as we wouldn't wake each other up if we had to get out of bed at night, so we have just grown accustomed to it. Clod actually snores louder than either of us, LOL!
My wife and I enjoy our king bed together. If I snore she wakes me. We both have difficulty sleeping apart from each other. It is comforting to know she is there.
No. Next question..
