I’ve heard about how sharing bedroom with your husband helps strengthen marriages, and while I agree that it helps with intimacy which is key in marriage, some women have admitted that nope! It didn’t work for them, at a point, after trying severally, they had no choice than to sleep separately from their husband so I have no choice than to agree that if sharing the same bedroom with your husband is uncomfortable, then sleep apart!
Here’s a woman’s testimony;
“When I was pregnant with my second child, our queen bed which I shared with my husband became just too hard and small for the two of us, at night, I was always tossing and turning on the bed, even he never gets a good night’s sleep” “At the 28th week of my pregnancy, my back ached, my hips hurt and I had to move to the flat old bed in the second room where I placed two pillows, one between my laps and the other under my head and it was as if my body was waiting for just that!”
” I was able to roll around anyhow, I could use all the pillows and even my husband slept well at night, I can’t say we stopped sharing bed ’cause I still rest in our master bedroom, but when it’s time to sleep, I just move to the second room.”
“We thought things would return to normal after my baby is born and we can finally share the same bed again, but then Mona came and even then things didn’t return to normal, she was always up and crying at night and this went on for months. After two weeks, we had to separate rooms again, my husband works 6 am to 4 pm when it started affecting him as he couldn’t get a good night’s sleep, we reached a compromise, he takes care of the baby when he comes back in the evening and at night I take over, meaning his night wouldn’t be disturbed”
“I went back to using the other room and things worked out just fine, when Mona finally stopped her late night cries and we realised how much we’ve missed our pillow talk, the warmth of sleeping on the same bed and the overall intimacy that comes with sharing the same bed as couples, we went back to sleeping in the same room. Nothing lasts forever”
“At first it was strange but then, when there’s the need for change, you just have to follow suit until things comes back to normal, I don’t know what would have happened to us if we had decided to stick with sleeping together on the same bed despite that it became inconvenient”
We needed space and sleep the most of the time and we compromised to get it, but we didn’t let the distance affect us ’cause we kept working together as a team, checking on each other and sharing the same bed until it’s night time when we have to go to our different beds, when need be, sleeping on separate beds is not a bad idea, as long as you don’t let it create a drift between you.
