  • I'm going to go out on a limb here and conclude you aren't married and are completely clueless how this works. 
    I’m going to speculate that you are okay with a married woman kicking her husband out to sleep on the couch.

  • I assume that the marital debt doesn’t get met because they sleep apart based on experiences with family members. And they ended up getting a divorce or their marriage involves the woman ruling over it (feminism).
    You're assuming way too much.

    Are we talking about the couple sleeping in separate beds, or the woman withholding or refusing the marriage debt? Because those are two different things. If those were the same thing they wouldn't require different words to describe them.

  • I have seen old tv shows where married couples each have their own twin bed in the same room. Maybe it was like that back in the day?

    It's generally not a smart idea to get your idea of reality through a TV show.

    Sure. The baby is asleep (for now) in the bedroom, she feels she's probably coming down with whatever illness the kids are spreading this week, and he has to work in the morning. And so, she tells him that it would be in his best interest to sleep on the couch. : )

    (probably not what you meant, but my scenario is more in line with the original topic)

    Go ask your grandparents what it was like "back in the day"

    Then ask some other elderly couple from your parish.

    The TV shows had to follow a code of morality back then and they were not allowed to show/suggest  male and female in the same bed.
    That being said, in reality, houses had more people in them then (more kids) and there wasn't even an opportunity for parents sleeping apart, hence the saying "in the dog house".

    Network television was held to fairly strict standards. It was seen as taboo for onscreen couples to share a bed even though for example, in I Love Lucy, Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball were married in real-life.

    This makes sense, thank you.

    The intention of my original comment was only to offer a lighthearted observation, followed with a question about said observation.

    Not sure why it became such a point of contention.

    I'm a sede, and no thank you as i really don't care that much.

    Minnesota: Thank you for the charitable answer.

    That is an interesting reply. What does being a "sede" have to do with asking an elderly couple? I think just responding "i really don't care that much." would have been more than sufficient."
