YES! We spent years worrying about it and what it said about our marriage. But the amount of nights one of us would get irritated and sleep on the couch/spare bed anyway - we ended up committing to the idea and have never gone back. We snuggle heaps, believe me - before bed and in the morning, and we have a very good sex life, and a great relationship, so who gives a fuck about the shared bed when we have the luxury! I mean I was thinking back in the day, you wouldn't have that luxury unless you were rich and had the extra rooms in your castle. It'd be you, the wife, the kids, the sheep, the chickens, all in a thatched cottage next to the fire place.
