Ask Dr. Helen: Is Sleeping Apart Healthy for Marriage?

My wife and I went through a period of time when we slept apart fairly regularly, though not the majority of nights. Reason? My back – our mattress was killing me, but she slept like a log. So I slept a lot on my son’s mattress while he was off at college.

We fixed that problem by buying a queen-sized Aerobed with adjustable firmness for left and right sides. So we’re back together every night.

So I think helen is right – the reason for separation is probably more important than the fact of separation.
