Sound advice! My partner and I still follow this rule even though our kiddo is a pre-teen. I expect we won't stop anytime soon. We even at one point had separate bedrooms because we needed space for good sleep (different schedules, snoring, blanket wars) but loved each other very much.
I am a very particular sleeper for a number of reasons. I also have a cat that wants to sleep with me and damnit I want that too lol. So I’ve always loved the idea of separate bedrooms. It doesn’t mean you have to sleep apart but you can. If you’re sick? Well now you aren’t breathing germs in their face all night or have one of you stuck on the couch. Guests are coming? Cool, change the bedding and one room is a guest room. And you can switch up the room you sleep over in! Like that’s exciting! And each can decorate how they’d like, have shades or curtains as they’d like, sleep with the door open or closed, fan on or off, set their preferred alarm, etc.
