Bedding Vows
As wedding season approaches, we have some advice for the newlyweds-to-be and wedding-gift-purchasers-to-be: Get two twin comforters.
We’re selling both twin and queen sizes of this down alternative comforter today so you don’t have to buy two twins, but consider the merits. No more midnight wrangling over control of the blankets. No more early-morning accusations of hogging or theft. No more waking a-shiver in a cold winter night while your spouse dozes snugly. In short: Marital bliss.
Wedding vows are so cute. The idea that you will have and hold – nevermind be able to stand the sight of — your husbands or wives through thick and thin seems like such a good idea at the time. Sure, other married couples have their problems, but you’re different. You’re never going to have a knock-down drag-out fight over, say, linens.
It’s not cynical or pessimistic to buy two twin comforters to avoid future conflict, it’s realistic.
In fact, it’s probably not a bad idea to buy separate beds, 1950s sitcom style. For the first few years you’ll want to snuggle, but after that his snoring and her starfish-style sleeping position wall have you each retreating to the furthest borders of the bed anyway.
Why not get separate rooms? Watch TV as late as you like without disturbing your spouse! And don’t worry about waking them when you have to catch an early flight. That’s what a forward-thinking newlywed would do.
Better yet, go ahead and rent a separate apartment. You don’t have to stay there all the time, just those nights when you feel like you need some alone time, your spouse feels like he or she needs some alone time, you want to get away from the kids, you want to get some work done, you want to do some yoga and meditate, or you are beginning to wonder what you’re doing with your life. You definitely won’t fight over the blankets if you’re no longer living together.
You know who really has it figured out? Those who aren’t married at all.
