When I picture couples sleeping in separate bedrooms, what comes to mind is the cliché of the husband or wife spending the night on the couch after a particularly bad argument. But according to a 2017 survey, 14% of American couples sleep in separate beds or bedrooms — and that’s often by choice.


Why would a happy couple opt for separate bedrooms? The short answer is: they want better sleep. Maybe their work hours don’t align and one partner needs to be up early or comes home super late. Perhaps snoring is an issue, or they prefer different temperature rooms. Whatever the case may be, sleeping apart has some real benefits — despite popular misconceptions. Couples who do it clued us in about why it works for them.

Much has changed in the past 50 years: today, women hold more jobs than men and obtain higher levels of education than men. Working moms are the norm, not the exception. Yet, a recent Gallup report found that women in cohabiting relationships are still more likely to handle household chores like dishes, grocery shopping and laundry — yes, even Millennial women.

 

Why is that?

#TBT:

 

moving out

 

This week, I’m throwing it back to… when you moved in with your partner. What if now, you want to un-move in? Living together just isn’t working out, but you still care about this person and want to stay together. Is there a way to talk about without ruining the relationship?
