Summary
EP44. Renee takes us through the evolution of her relationship with regard to sleeping in the same bed with her now husband. How have her views on couples sharing a bed and her bed sharing habits changed throughout dating, living together, marriage, pregnancy, the newborn stage, and toddlerhood? Can we stop the socially constructed (not science-based) belief that sharing a bed is what makes a strong and healthy relationship?
