According to studies television set inside the couples' bedroom is not good. Why? because this deprived couple to any marital and family discussions because instead of a good conversation they are focused on television show. What is your opinion to this?

really? i never heard of that i wonder why too. maybe they fight over what to watch or maybe they fight because the tv too loud and one or the other want to sleep. thats what me and my sister fight about its ether i want to go to sleep or she does and i'm closer to the tv so when i want to go to sleep its like really loud. and my opinion on this is compromise. thats what i'm going do when i move in with my spouse. or i can get another tv and put it in the living room what ever works.

It depends upon the couple but if they know that their television set is the hindrance to their open conversation so i guezz they better deal with that problem. Put the tv in the living room instead.

Hmmm I don't really know ... But the TV is one of the many interests we have in common! And through watching we do have meaningful conversations. I guess it will depend on what you are watching and from there will the conversations start.

Can i ask if your conversation is about your family affairs? Or maybe about the show? Anyway its good to know that in your side its an instrument that create a good conversation between your partner. Thank you fop your reply.

Hi. levanueb. Welcome to myLot! I don't know too much about this. I do know that when me and my husband had a TV in our bedroom, we would talk and spend time with each other a whole lot. And when we wanted to relax, we would both watch a great TV show or a movie together. I think that a couple should not have a TV in their bedroom if all they do is watch television and never ever, make conversation together.

Where to put the TV set matters little, as long as they allocate sufficient time for mutual conversation and that with their children.
