Matrimonial Bed

Where I come from, a girl during her wedding day is given a bed by her family. I came to learn it’s a sign to show that she no longer has a bed at her parents’ house. This therefore means she is expected to sleep at her husband’s house from then henceforth. But how special and significant is a matrimonial bed? Ever wondered why a husband and wife are expected to share a room and a bed for the rest of their lives when they get married? Kindly read on.

For a majority of us before they got married they had learned how to sleep alone and of course not care the positions they sleep in. However when you get married sleeping positions will affect another person. This is the first area a couple needs to learn to compromise on. When sleeping majority of us are in a harmless state. During such moments some will sleep very poorly placing their legs all over. Sleeping with such a person can become really uncomfortable and disturbing. Just as those with poor sleeping habits are innocent when asleep, it’s the same way marriage life can be.

Old habits die hard and it takes time to adjust. As you get used to poor sleeping positions you also learn to adjust yourself and still sleep peaceful, so is the case in marriage. Each person comes with their old habits and it takes time to adjust. However uncomfortable your spouse sleeps, the reason you went to bed was to sleep and it still comes your way. So however uncomfortable marriage gets the reason you formed your union should keep both parties going. It is the end result of marriage that determines how much one is willing to compromise. So before you enter into the matrimonial bed ask yourself if you will sleep regardless of how uncomfortable it gets to sleep in the same bed with your spouse.

May we all understand the significance and importance of a matrimonial bed.God bless us all.
