If you’ve lived with your partner for a long time and have been blessed enough to have more than one bedroom in your home, then you’ve likely spent the night in separate rooms a time or two, and you know it’s not a big deal. Couples don’t always decide to sleep separately because of some blowout fight, or because they’ve fallen into a sexless relationship. While some relationship experts might advise you not to make sleeping in separate rooms a habit, long-term couples know that sometimes, catching your zzz’s a few hundred feet apart can be very beneficial. Your relationship isn’t falling apart, and you aren’t growing apart if you don’t share a blanket every night. Here are the top reasons couples sleep in separate bedrooms.
