SPOUSES THAT SLEEP TOGETHER
STAY TOGETHER
C
ouples going to bed together allow
room for pillow conversation; thus,
fulfilling the three C’s –
connection, clarity and
communication within the
relationship.
Making headway to bed together, allows you to
stay on the same schedule. If a partner goes to bed
at a later time, there is the possibility of waking the
sleeping mate and when this becomes a habit,
there is the tendency that anger and resentment
can build up and cause tension in the marriage.
Retiring for the night in unison promotes
intimacy. God wants married couples to be intimate
regularly. So, when you are not in the same place at
the same time, it makes it difficult to do so. Do not
make love and run to the kitchen to wash plates,
watch television or go to read. Know that the time
after copulation is to be used to build the emotional
and relational side of your relationship.
A number of couples take the advantage of
going to bed together, to pray together which is a
great habit to develop. Once in bed together, it
gives you time to talk about your successes in the
day, give thanks to God for what he has done and
entreat him for the day ahead.
One of the common struggles that married couples
face is going to bed together and this process can
actually reinforce good sleeping habits and positive
influence when it comes to keeping reasonable
bedtimes. On the other hand, women who go to bed
earlier or later than their partners, reported lower
relationship satisfaction, the study found.
When spouses don’t sleep together, they may be
losing on the benefits of a shared sleep schedule, one of
which is touching. Studies have suggested that
physical touch between lovebirds releases
oxytocin that helps to promote and maintain
healthy relationship and bonding. Also,
closeness with your partner leads to better
sleep.
Partners who have the same sleep pattern
are more likely to have regular sex than those
who don’t. Going to bed together gives room
for spontaneous cuddling and touching that can
lead to intercourse not to mention bonding
through physical intimacy.
Sleeping together for couples has a number
of health benefits- You tend to fall asleep faster
and deeper when you sleep as a couple. It
de-stresses you and even protects your heart
and keep it healthy, as sleeping with your mate
allows your brain to tune out quickly and you
sleep off immediately.
You feel safe and secure when you sleep
together; this in turn, affects the quality of your
sleep as it has been discovered that couples
sleep longer when they sleep and huddle
together. It promotes warmth which helps you
to sleep more deeply than you normally do.
If you sleep so well and in such comfort,
you will definitely wake up refreshed. Sleeping
together ensures that you are more energetic
when you wake up and you are ready to take
on the world, all of which begins with sleeping
with your partner.
Although going to bed at the
same time might not always be
practicable, you can try to make it a
regular occurrence as often as
possible. This will introduce a new
level of intimacy to your marriage
So,, if you desire a strong and
flourishing relationship, you will have
to develop those habits that can
empower your marriage to be
greater, of which going to bed
together is one.
Couples who get better sleep are
actually creative and better at
keeping their goals.
TIPS ON HOW TO DESIGN
THE PERFECT LIVING ROOM
Tips for making your living room the ultimate destination.
Start with a plan, not pillows
Before starting a design, some people buy pillows and other accessories for
their rooms, only to discover later that these items don’t fit in the space.
In order to get the most out of the living room, users must consider how they
are going to use the space. “Do
you need media? Should it be a
place where you use your laptops?
How many people are you
expecting in your living room?”

Have fun with pillows
Bringing color, pattern, and texture into a
room through pillows is another great way
to do it. Go for bold designs.
Invest in Sofa
After functionality is figured out, the first
thing you need to buy is the sofa. It’s
crucial to make sure you buy a longlasting
quality piece.
Put rugs on the floor to
define the space
The rug should be much larger than the
seating area, making the room appear
bigger. Since there are going to be a
number of other elements, it’s imperative
that the rug’s color, texture, and pattern
blend with the entire scheme.
Add personality
A person’s accessories can tell more than
just a story about their personality and
lifestyle. By weaving these elements into
the design, it will feel like your home.
Use lighting to punctuate
Prioritize natural lighting when planning
the room’s furniture layout and window
treatments. Also, make sure that you
have high and low lighting for this side of
the design. After that, select lamps. Invest
in some beautiful lamps and you’re going
to have them forever in your collection.
