Description

Peacefully sharing a bed with a romantic partner is deeply rooted in our ideas about romantic love and partnership. But in reality, one in four couples sleeps separately, and nearly half of adults say they wish they could sleep apart from their partner for a better night’s sleep.


Despite all of our romantic ideals about sharing a bed with a partner, there are sometimes things we need to navigate in order to get there—from snoring to differing sleep schedules to sharing a small space (like a two-person tent).


To help us sort that out I have marriage and family expert Dr. Michael Tobin, a clinical psychologist, veteran couples and family therapist, and author. He founded the award-winning website www.wholefamily.com in 1996, which has been recognized by Time, Family Life, Yahoo, Internet Life, USA Today, The Chicago Tribune, the BBC, the Jerusalem Report and the Jerusalem Post and garnered over 50 awards.
