For me and my husband this did not work. We both thought that we would sleep better in separate beds, but it didn’t work out for either of us. He thought that he would sleep more soundly if I was not telling him to roll over all night long to stop snoring, and I of course thought that I would sleep better without having to listen to him snore all night. But we were both wrong. I actually missed the rhythmic noise of the snoring and I think he just missed me being in the room with him. So now I have my office back since it doesn’t have to be a second bedroom anymore!

I don’t know that bed sharing makes you healthier but I do think that overall it probably helps to keep the marriage strong. I know that it seems like it would be a small thing, but I think about how many times I have laid in bed with my own spouse and had the most wonderful conversations, worked out some really tough problems, and in general have just had a lot of good times together. Those are things that often can’t be replicated outside of the bedroom. I just think that overall for me that this is something very important in my marriage that I would not want to lose.

I had a pretty hard time getting used to sharing my bed, but now that I have I actually have a horrible time trying to sleep when he is not there with me! It feels so comforting to know that he is right there if anything happens, and I know that I rest so much better when he is with me.

all the issues seem like a minor thing when compared to spending time in bed with your partner.there is just so much more to a relationship than not being able to look past tiny things like snoring and schedules.

ach! But my husband snores so much that I get very little rest when we try to sleep in the same room. I know we are young, but we already have separate bedrooms and I am happy with that.
