For many the marriage bed is a sacred place shared between two people. Some couples can even grow sentimental and deeply attached to their bed. It is a place where they shared more than romantic love, but also sickness, health, poverty and abundance.
The marriage bed is indeed special, but eventually it gets old and worn out. There are strange lumps and grooves where you’ve both slept for five, ten, twenty years or more. Springs are broken, cotton stuffing is coming out and it no longer has that nice bounce to it.
You’ve got to get a new marriage bed. Yes, I know it’s hard to let go of the old one. However, your spouse is experiencing some painful back problems from the lack of support and you’ve forgotten what a full night’s sleep means. So, chuck out the old and bring in the new.
There are all kinds of beds that could get the honor of becoming your marriage bed. You can look at water beds, sand beds, hammocks, memory foam mattresses and plain old spring mattresses. Lucky you! Yet, it can be hard to find just the right mattress to serve as your new marriage bed. Here’s a few tips to keep in mind when looking:
• Test any and all beds you come across. That means lying down on them. Sleeping on them. Bouncing around on them. All to make sure its comfortable for the both of you.
• Check with the person who is selling the bed to see if there is a warranty that comes with the mattress. It’s too hard looking for a new marriage bed to have to do this again in just a few years.
• Sit down with your partner and find out what kind of bed he or she prefers. There are all kinds and the two of you are bound to find a great compromise.
Last but certainly not least, make sure to measure the size of your room and any hallways or stairs you may have to cross to get that new marriage bed into your bedroom.
