Separate beds

Is sleeping in separate beds a sign of a broken marriage, or just plain common sense?

Here, the NY Times discusses married couples who sleep separately. It cites a survey suggesting one in four American couples sleep in separate bedrooms or beds.

The reasons? Everything from sleep disorders to the apparent root of all evil: technology.

The writer isn't too thrilled about the separate beds movement. An excerpt:

In an age when partners no longer eat together, exercise together or pray together, sleeping together may be the last bastion of togetherness in American relationships. If pillow talk dies, can throwing in the towel be far behind?

I don't think this is a battle worth fighting.

It's one thing to compromise on life outlooks or money issues.

But in the grand scheme of things, where you sleep is really not that big of an issue -- well, assuming you're not sleeping in somebody else's bed.
