The most common problem for newlyweds learning to live together comes with disagreements in the bedroom. No, this is not a reference to THAT sort of disagreement but rather has to do with comfort within the bedroom, both with the decorum and the sleeping arrangements. The latter tends to be difficult for many to adjust to, especially since many adults getting married are used to having an entire full sized bed to themselves. After tying the knot, it's necessary to share a bed – anything between a full size and a king size, none of the above offering as much personal space as the former arrangements. How can a newly married couple make the bed and bedroom more comfortable to share?



There are a few ways to make sleeping together a little easier to manage for two people used to sleeping alone. First of all, agree to disagree. If you both like to steal the covers, don't worry about it; use two sets of covers so that each is properly accommodated. While it is essential to learn to share your king size platform beds, it is not necessary to deprive each other of sleep during the adjustment period.

Another important thing when adjusting is to allow yourselves enough room to be comfortable in your own spaces while also finding a happy medium where you can be intimate and snuggly. With king bedroom furniture, the former is easily resolved. With king captain beds and other king size monstrosities, you can practically sleep on opposite sides of the room. However, the latter may be lacking. Often, newlyweds find that intimacy drops off quickly when using king size accommodations. Merely downsizing to queen bedroom sets will not take away a lot of space but will force a bit more intimacy, literally keeping you closer together for a better relationship.

In regards to design issues and disagreements, whether you are arguing over brass beds or which headboards you like, just remember that this is much less important than the need to be comfortable with each other. The bedroom suite should only be a real problem if it is so displeasing to you that you can't possibly live in the room or concentrate on intimacy and privacy within the space. Don't be too picky about picking bedroom furniture, and settle for something you both agree on, even if it's not your favorite. Then, you'll have more time to enjoy the furniture at home.

Once you've incorporated these aspects into your new married life, you'll find that the adjustment process will be smooth, and you'll enjoy having a warm body next to you when you wake up every morning. It just takes a little time and discipline to stop being selfish and learn not to share your space. Even if you tend to be a “stretcher” that takes up the whole bed by sprawling out or a “tosser”, turning over and over in your sleep, you'll find ways to adjust so that neither of you is annoyed and you both get a good night's sleep every night.
