  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

We decided from the start of our marriage that we would always go to bed at the same time. That sounds weird, but it's always been important to us. Of course sometimes one of us just can't sleep or one of us comes home much later than the other. But 99.9% of the time, we go to bed at the same time. Now that we have kids this time together is even more important. It's the time we sort of decompress, catch up, and snuggle in for the night.

Yup, we always go to bed together. Even if for some reason I'm not tired. I will still go to bed with him and snuggle. Once he's asleep, I will sometimes get up and do whatever until I'm really tired and need to sleep

Most of the time we go to bed together. But if he has some more work to do, I mean when we have to work on some program, Id go to bed earlier, but that is if Im very tired already. I find it hard to sleep if we dont go to bed together so sometimes Id jsut wait for him.

Always. Even if hubby worked over when he use to work on 2nd shift, I would still wait up until 1..2...3 am until I knew he was safe at home with me to go to bed. I have a hard time sleeping without him (like on occasion when he is away on business for a day or two).

She's usually in bed before me because she's just addicted to sleep.

I know she gets grumpy sometimes if I don't come to bed with her despite me not being tired (women!), so sometimes I'll go and lay down beside her and talk.

Once she's asleep, I go back out into the living room and have some nice quiet time to myself.

Your wife and I should form a support group for wives with insomniac husbands.

most of the time we go at the same time. Once in a while one of us is up later than the other. If I expect him to be up hours past me I'll ask him to lay w/ me for 15 mins to talk and unwind and get sleepy, then he's off to whatever he needs to do.

Do you and your spouse go to bed together or at different times?

On weeknights, we go to bed at the same time. On the weekends (Fri and Sat) nights, I'm a night owl so I tend to stay up late while he goes to bed on time. That's my time to just relax without hubby or kids around and he understands that and grants me my time of peace.
