Do you share the same room with your spouse or separate rooms?

This is dependent on the finacial capacity of the family in acquiring a more spacious appartment if not they might have to shre the same room which i don't really support.It is better for the couple to have diffrent rooms for the purpose of privacy and for them to be able to concentrate more other aspects of their lives endeavour.

I could not imagine not sharing a room with my husband no matter what my financial capacity is. That is the one place that we can go and not be disturbed. As for privacy I would rather give privacy up to spend more time with my husband.

Of course we share a room (and a bed) I couldn't sleep without him there. I don't know what kind of privacy you need from your spouse... especially when sleeping... I don't know what you mean by focus on other parts of life... what other parts of life take place in your bedroom??

Really? im Christian, and i know people who are more into the religion than i am, but they sleep in the same rooms. if you are not going to sleep with your spouse, and want to concentrate on other aspects become a nun, or a munk. are you married?

I have more than enough privacy without having to have a room away from my husband. I can't imagine either of us being o-kay with it.

I can remember way back when I was a kid that my grandparents did not have the same bedroom. Growing up I often wondered how they had a kid. Then later my parents are now in seperate rooms. My dad snores and hits in his sleep and mom said enough is enough. I however, at this time still sleep in the same bedroom as my husband. I do however, sleep on the sofa when he works till the wee hours of the morning. He snore terrible and there is no way to stop him. The other problem is that I have asthma and sometimes I have to sleep sitting up and I don't like to keep him up so I sleep in my nice big chair in the livingroom.

I have been several relationships where we had separate rooms. With my ex it was because he had problems that were not pleasant and we had grown apart. He was a control freak. I find that having a separate room is like dating. It is nice when you want to be alone or when one of you is sick and you don't want to share the problem. I don't like a television in the bedroom and most men do. I like to read in bed and that keeps the other person awake. I always liked it when I would get a late night visit from my amorous mate and it put a new curve to the relationship. Also, you can choose your own style of decor and you don't have to clean up the other persons messes. I am a late nighter and most people are early risers. So many different reasons and yet I do enjoy sharing the bed with someone. It really is a matter of preferance.

I think it is a better idea to share everything once we are married. Why get married at all if it is not the case. We can remain friends forever maintaining each others private lives.

Yes of course I share a room with my spouse. Isn't that why one gets married. So you can share the same room. Otherwise I would have stayed singel. If you need privacy then go into the livingroom. Or bathroom.

Same room with the spouse. She is my partner and I would hate to be without her. Staying in the same room gives a feeling of security to both as well a feeling of being wanted by each other. I wonder why sholud someone not share the room with the spouse.

husband and wife should have their own room by themselves thats for privacy reason ...my children have their own room ...were not rich but we can still afford a room for them...(we are living in a house, not an apartment)

We do not share rooms! He, well, suppose to be living in the basement but generally sleeps on the couch. He does have a few things in the closet in my room for it is the best place for dressier clothes he does not wear often. I even recently got him knocking before he comes in. Not that I do not have anything to hide, but it just feels like I had no where to go and have time for myself after taking care of kids all day, cleaning, laundry, I need that break. We are only just friend snow and waiting for a divorse, but it has been with way for almost 8 years out of the 10 we have lived together. CC

I think spouse should share the common room because they are life partners.Everybody has privacy I fully understand however spouse should not have different bedrooms or rooms which will form unnecessary gap physically and mentally.

I do not agree to this at all. Even if I become a millionaire I would not stay in seperate room. What are we married for if we stay in sepearte rooms. Yes there should be privacy but not so much that you need a seperate room. I do not feel sleepy if I do not hold my husband.

I have a friend couple who share the room with their parents. It is quite inconvenient since their actions are watched by the parents most of the time. I have advised them to move on their own once they are already financially capable.
