Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast. I'm your co-host, Christina Dodson. This is an Ask

Dr. Kim segment where people submit their questions for Dr. Kim Kim, and he answers them.

Thanks for listening. Welcome to this segment of Ask Dr. Kim today. Today, our question is,

do married couples have to sleep in the same bed? What are your

thoughts, Dr. Kim? Should this be a role? Do you generally recommend that couple sleep in the same

bed? Well, the easy answer is yes, I mean, because I do. And I think most couples start out

they're married to sleep in in the same bed. Obviously, a lot of people are sexual, but just

beginning to do that, But it's something that

there's a closeness that happens there. And I think that it's, it, there's a bonding. It's something

happens by sleeping in the same bed. And I think you lose that. You lose six, seven, eight hours of

connection. And you might think, okay, I'm asleep. Yeah, you're asleep, but there is something, you know, we were talking before the podcast

and the times when none of us is out of town and, you know, and I'm just used to having Nancy

close to me because we sleep really close together and, you know, I wake up in the middle

of the night and I've reached over and just getting a cold cheat.

I mean, something develops and something happens in that by spending the time and spending, you know,

sleeping together and same bed.

I agree.

I think there's like this oneness that kind of happens, right?

Even when you're asleep and it's just like another opportunity for connection.

And I agree.

I think generally I recommend you sleep in that same bed because it really should like the bed

and the bedroom should be this sacred
