Husband might snore a lot or may be even the wife.Somee may find the booze smell horrible to resist while sleeping together , some may find smoking smell horrible to resist .There are so many different reasons people may find not to sleep with their partners.
Now my question is " IS IT OK FOR COUPLES TO HAVE SEPERATE BEDROOMS"?

Unfortunately, couples who chose to sleep in separate bedrooms have already passed their honeymoon stage. The couples find some unpleasant sleeping behavior that's why they prefer not to sleep in the same bedroom. It might be okay but it's not really healthy for the relationship because one of the ingredient of a happy marriage is INTIMACY. How can you have INTIMACY when you sleep in two separate bedrooms? But, some couple is able to go through their marriage with these sleeping arrangements. I don't know how they make it work. KUDOS to them.

There are might be problem between the couples while they decided sleep on separate bedroom. Probably argument between them, or some other reasons. If there are real problem, they should find solution to it, or either one of them give in, and find the best solution to the problem.

I think that it is alright for couples to have seperate bedrooms. I wouldn't like it though. If my husband ever suggested that we have seperate bedrooms I would be so sad. I enjoy sleeping next to my husband. He makes me feel safe and he keeps me warm at night.

I think it'd be okay for a couple to have separate bedrooms, just as long as they spend time together. There might be reasons where a couple would need that space. I know when I was pregnant with our son, I wished there was another bed I could sleep in because he was snoring so badly. I wasn't able to sleep. It'd better now, but another bed is better than sleeping on the couch.

I don't think so that it is good for couples to sleep away from each other and have separate rooms. It is not an alibi if he snore, smells bad etc, etc. but the thing is, you said "I do" to your spouse, be it in good or bad.
I guess i will not be able to sleep well if my husband is not beside me. He is my pillow and i hug him and he hugs me. Every time we switch sides, we still have our clinging arms to one another.
I just can't imagine a couple living together but sleeping separately. Your bonding will surely be shortened whatever you would like to say or any reasons you may tell me, i will not buy it because a part of me is with my husband, and the same thing for him, he is not complete without me. The only people i know sleeping apart are those who are angry with each other. I find no reason why should i deprive myself sleeping with my husband nor does he.

I think it is okay to sleep separately, so long as you spend quality time together throughout that day or in the evening. Sleeping separately should not rule out having intimate time together, because that is the cornerstone of any marriage. However, not getting your proper sleep because your spouse is snoring can be very frustrating and can add fuel to a fire in the form of an argument the next day.

I can see the logic behind doing such a thing but in terms of bonding and becoming "one" with your mate I think that sleeping together and sharing your ease and rest with one another is good for strengthening the bonds of a marriage. I also think that sleeping alone sucks, having my mans body next to mine in bed at night gives me comfort and ease. I sleep much better with him than when I am alone. Besides a lot of important and intimate conversations take place in bed, at night before you fall asleep or first thing in the morning when you both wake. I think I would miss that sleeping in seperate rooms. Seperate beds would be bad enough but seperate rooms I feel would lend to a feeling of seperateness and individuality from your spouse rather than the unifying act of sleeping together. Besides logistically two people sharing a living space take up less room and thus reduce housing costs and the costs of furnishing another bedroom.

Hello,Krupesh! From the day of their marriage the couples are socially allowed to sleep together because that would strengthen their relationship.If there is no special reason the couples should not sleep in separate rooms.Even they should not sleep in separate beds.The couples should sleep together in one bed for their own benefits.thanx.

Yes, it's fine to have separate bedrooms. If both think it's okay. Some people like to sleep alone and that's a fact.
I love to sleep alone (I guess that's since I'va had children in bed for years now) Some nights I have a hard time sleeping and if I stay in bed I would wake my husband up - he needs the sleep.
Some times I wish we had another bedroom!

If you have tried sleeping together and find that there is something which stops one person getting a proper nights sleep then I really don't see any issues whith a couple sleeping in seperate beds or bedrooms.
Sleep is important and without getting enough it is impossible to function at your best. Plus usually lack of sleep results in grumpiness, which can lead to arguements and that does not lead to a good relationship.

I do not think it is ok for couples to have separate bedrooms. if some people snore or what, they have to be checked or cured. it is bad for their love emotion to have separete rooms.
