Sleeping Together – A Guide To Newlywed Comfort
In The Bedroom
Author: Ben Weissman

The most common problem for newlyweds learning to live together
comes with disagreements in the bedroom. No, this is not a
reference to THAT sort of disagreement but rather has to do
with comfort within the bedroom, both with the decorum and the
sleeping arrangements. The latter tends to be difficult for
many to adjust to, especially since many adults getting married
are used to having an entire full sized bed to themselves.
After tying the knot, it's necessary to share a bed – anything
between a full size and a king size, none of the above offering
as much personal space as the former arrangements. How can a
newly married couple make the bed and bedroom more comfortable
to share?

There are a few ways to make sleeping together a little easier
to manage for two people used to sleeping alone. First of all,
agree to disagree. If you both like to steal the covers, don't
worry about it; use two sets of covers so that each is properly
accommodated. While it is essential to learn to share your king
size platform beds, it is not necessary to deprive each other of
sleep during the adjustment period.

Another important thing when adjusting is to allow yourselves
enough room to be comfortable in your own spaces while also
finding a happy medium where you can be intimate and snuggly.
With king bedroom furniture, the former is easily resolved.
With king captain beds and other king size monstrosities, you
can practically sleep on opposite sides of the room. However,
the latter may be lacking. Often, newlyweds find that intimacy
drops off quickly when using king size accommodations. Merely
downsizing to queen bedroom sets will not take away a lot of
space but will force a bit more intimacy, literally keeping you
closer together for a better relationship.

In regards to design issues and disagreements, whether you are
arguing over brass beds or which headboards you like, just
remember that this is much less important than the need to be
comfortable with each other. The bedroom suite should only be
a real problem if it is so displeasing to you that you can't
possibly live in the room or concentrate on intimacy and
privacy within the space. Don't be too picky about picking
bedroom furniture, and settle for something you both agree on,
even if it's not your favorite. Then, you'll have more time to
enjoy the furniture at home.

Once you've incorporated these aspects into your new married
life, you'll find that the adjustment process will be smooth,
and you'll enjoy having a warm body next to you when you wake
up every morning. It just takes a little time and discipline
to stop being selfish and learn not to share your space. Even
if you tend to be a "stretcher" that takes up the whole bed by
sprawling out or a "tosser", turning over and over in your
sleep, you'll find ways to adjust so that neither of you is
annoyed and you both get a good night's sleep every night.
