And part of having some backbone is being willing to love your wife in truth even when things are iffy, both spiritually and physically. Paul *does* allow for people to be separated if they get mean to each other, but other than that, they normally need to have sex, in addition to *being allowed to* have sex.<BR/><BR/>One small note: central heating. Do y'all want to live *anywhere* without central heating and without someone to help keep warm by? Yuk. Brrr.<BR/><BR/>Then again, the middle east people in the Bible often had separate tents for the husband and wife each.

At first I (the youngest and last to live at home) was told not to tell one of my more sensitive brothers about it. Nothing was wrong with their marriage, it's just that Dad's snoring had gotten to the point of sounding like a lumber mill working at full tilt.<BR/><BR/>My wife and I share the same bed, BTW.Adam Gonnermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975190849449996353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28637516.post-85380253962518434982007-03-23T07:50:00.000-04:002007-03-23T07:50:00.000-04:00Hey Mike,I've always thought I should have been bo...Hey Mike,<BR/><BR/>I've always thought I should have been born in another century 300-600AD perhaps.Pastor Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344719487413688550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28637516.post-40423077600403408072007-03-23T07:49:00.000-04:002007-03-23T07:49:00.000-04:00Otherwise he'll be sleeping the corner - of the bo...Otherwise he'll be sleeping the corner - of the boxing ring!

I've not officially "moved out" of our bedroom, but I do sleep elsewhere every night. My husband and I laughed and said we both felt "guilty" about this, but it works. Sex aside, beds are for sleeping, which we BOTH do much better in separate beds. He snores, I flail. I don't know if this is a permanent thing, but it seems to be working for right now.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456582874795562039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28637516.post-2595602691906392062007-03-22T19:13:00.000-04:002007-03-22T19:13:00.000-04:00separate rooms? not me. i want a separate house....separate rooms? not me. i want a separate house. ideally i she would come around on tuesdays, wednesdays, and fridays - maybe on sundays.<BR/><BR/>really, i think i only want to be married three days a week.<BR/><BR/>hmmm, maybe that is why i am not married.<BR/><BR/>nothing against women. i am just really selfish and like "me" time.Mike Murrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953216797987615864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28637516.post-13036892214875866992007-03-22T18:36:00.000-04:002007-03-22T18:36:00.000-04:00Yep, Jules and I sleep in seperate rooms as a gene...Yep, Jules and I sleep in seperate rooms as a general rule. Jules is an incredibly light sleeper.... she calls herself an insomniac and I don't think that is far from the truth. Aparently I snore a little and even through her ear plugs, the sligtest noise will wake Jules. So we sleep in seperate rooms.<BR/><BR/>Of course, we've both been guilty of the sending email messages until way after midnight. :D<BR/><BR/>We used to worry about it affecting our marriage. But it doesn't seem to have any ill effects and Jules manages to get a good nights sleep. :)<BR/><BR/>BB<BR/><BR/>Mikecernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159048983588703450noreply@blogger.com
