I Don’t Want Separate Beds

Dear Suze Q. My wife ask me if I want to sleep in separate rooms. She heard about a trend where couples, young and old, are increasingly sleeping apart for "improved health reasons" and have a stronger relationship. I love our bedtime routines and think it's an invaluable part of love. Am I wrong?

Dear Lover, You are right -for your situation. Others find that a "sleep divorce" -horrible term in my mind, began when someone didn't get a good night's sleep because of their partner's snoring, different sleep schedules, different temperatures/bed firmness, then found sleeping alone was good too. Of course, if the reason for separate beds is because the relationship is going to shit, this won't solve that problem and will probably make it worse by not confronting the real issues. -SQ
