Every marriage is different and unique. What works for one person doesn't always work for the other person.
In the world of love and marriage, there is nothing that's universally true. There are so many things that are subjective and works for a few, but don't work for others. However, it's always interesting to see how other couples live and operate.
While not all couples do, many couples share a bed and a bedroom with each other when they're married. Many look forward to that part of marriage, getting to go to sleep and wake up to your partner every day and every night.
While many do, there are also those who don't share a bed with each other every night. And, then, there are those who don't share a bedroom with each other either. It's not because they don't love each other, but it's just what works best for them.
TikTok user and mom @terriannmichelle said that during the week, she does not sleep in the same bed with her husband. In fact, the two don't even share a room during the week at all.
Apparently, @terriannmichelle shared that sleeping in separate rooms not only works well for them but it has actually made their "intimate relationship" better in the long run. So, it's truly a win/win for this couple, it seems.
People online were curious as to why the two sleep apart, and @terriannmichelle said a lot of it has to do with their schedules. When one person has to be up earlier than the other, it can make the whole "beginning the day" hard.
While some people call it "weird and strange," the mom said it's "way more common than other people think and realize" due to different schedules and different job hours. But, not everyone talks about or shares it out loud.
@terriannmichelle said that they do have a king-size bed but between her husband's snoring and early morning alarms for her (she gets up early to take care of the kids), it's hard on them both. But, now, sleeping apart allows them to get a good night's sleep.
A commenter shared that her husband works nights and during the week, sleeping in another room is the only way it works for them. Her husband comes home early in the morning and sleeps throughout the day, whereas she sleeps throughout the night and gets up early.
Other TikTok users shared they also have separate bedrooms, but one wife said they were "too embarrassed and ashamed" to tell others because so many people judge them and think it's "weird."
"I can’t sleep without my husband. He can’t sleep well without me. I’ll keep it that way. It doesn’t make much sense to not sleep together," one commenter said.
However, the TikTok user said "it doesn't make sense to YOU, but it makes sense to us."
While some sleep together and some sleep apart, there are also families who sleep with multiple people in the bed. One mom said that she shares a bed with her husband and three kids, bed-sharing, so they never get alone time.
What do you think about sleeping with your husband?
