If you're looking to spice things up in what you consider a dull relationship, you might need to consider separate beds.
Now we know what you're thinking...how can a couple sleeping in separate beds make the romance stronger? How would the logistics work?
Sex and relationship expert Viviana Coles told the NY Post, "Choosing to sleep in separate beds, and even separate rooms, in order to increase the quality and frequency of great sleep is a wonderful way to enhance your sex life, because it also puts a big emphasis on your own physical health. And anything that you can do to increase and improve your physical health enhances your sexual health."
Despite criticism from folks who maintain they married their spouse "for better or worse," and couldn't imagine sleeping in a separate bed than they, New York City couples counselor Cyndi Darnell says, "There's nothing more or less intimate about sharing a bedroom. A strong relationship is created by willing individuals who put in the effort to create a sustainable relationship."
She added, "It doesn't matter if you eat dinner at the same time or sleep in the same bed or even live in the same house. A [healthy] relationship is much more robust than any of your daily life machinations."
