Relationships are about compromise, love, and hopefully great conversation.
We all had the relationship with ourselves, the one we tried to have the best of times with and then realized, maybe it's time to think more on the lines of we instead of me?
Scary? I know. When you're in love with yourself, the only we you want to say is French and to many good things in life.
And don't get me wrong, relationships are beautiful and so is marriage but the one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb is the bedroom. No couple is perfect and if you are, I'd like to meet you and take notes.
The problem is, nine times out of ten you are strange bedpersons and in an ideal world there would be no strange about it but here we are.
Is there anything wrong with wanting separate bedrooms? Maybe an adjoining door?
Here's a scenario and because I'm totally PC, I'll give fake names:
Sally likes her room to be 65 degrees, no noise except the overhead fan and night lights because apparently she's still twelve. John likes 75 and no fan with a ocean playing in the background. Someone forgot to warn John that he's in Georgia and not Gulf Shores. But the worst of all is John's horrid snoring that chops down 95 trees per minute.
What is a girl to do?! And while compromise is a wonderful democratic move some things require a little less compromise and a little more innovation.
Why does separate bedrooms have to be taboo? It's not a sign of anything bad to come in the relationship or even distancing yourself.
Sometimes the best couple just needs a peaceful night's sleep and the frigid cold to make one happy. And even happy endings can happen once you cross over the adjoining door.
