ONE BED OR TWO?


"You grow a better marriage in one bed," says this marital counselor.
by David Goodman, M.D.
"Two beds make half a marriage," the pretty wife complained to the marriage counselor, as she urged her husband — also present — to buy a single bed, possibly king-sized, to replace the twin bed set they now slept in.
This wife had a good sense of what it takes to make a marriage. Marriage is for love and closeness, a feeling that you and your spouse are one. In all the literature of love and marriage, did you ever read of twin beds? No! Poets, novelists, essayists always wrote of the marriage bed, singular, not plural.
