Of course what makes people content, that goes without saying. What I question is whether we have a preconception due to romantic ideals. I am pretty certain many would judge a couple that sleeps apart as less 'close' overall, but how scientific is that judgement?
Not sure whether studies have been undertaken that have been able to come up with trustworthy numbers. Statistics of separations, looking at whether more couples split sharing sleep space or finding rest apart


From hearsay (non-empirical evidencelaugh ) I know that lots of Scandinavians have their own beds/rooms within a marriage. For convenience and practical purposes.

Maybe comparing their divorce rates to others in western societies where sharing a marital bed is the norm, would help in your statistical analysis.grin

We'd need take the effects of prolongued winters on the mind into account then too though, thus we'd need find a country with similar light distributions, where people do share beds
What's the Finnish like?


They are one European nationality I know very little about! laugh

But when I used to work in tourism, they used to book double rather than twin beds, if that helps laugh

Maybe I should look into getting myself a Viking, if they are more open minded towards the idea of separate bedrooms (unless on holiday?). The idea of a rough and tumble Viking sounds somehow quite enticing daydream
