After several years of sleeping together, that sounds naughty – hehe, my husband recently stated that he’d like to get a king size bed.  I thought it was a random request because I didn’t feel like we were having any issues in bed.  *snicker*

I once read an article that said even though most people eventually work their way up to a king, couples should keep their queens.  It said that there is enough room that you aren’t on top of one another but there there isn’t so much room that you never touch.  I’m not the hugest cuddler in the world but I do like some contact.  I imagined ourselves never touching and growing apart in our relationship because of the larger bed.  I decided that the reasoning in the article made perfect sense and have been completely content with our queen.

Until Matt dropped the bomb.  To me, it felt like he was asking for a divorce.  Or at least a seperation.  I nearly cried.  I demanded his reasons, none of which had to do with the status of our marriage.  It was more along the lines of wanting more room to stretch out… or some such nonsense.   

Tonight I was talking with a co-worker and realized that king size beds normally have two twin box springs.  This was good news.  You see, we aren’t able to get our box spring up the stairs in our house.  Matt and a friend even bent the frame a little but it wouldn’t get past the turn.  As a result, we have our mattress on the floor.  I’ve never complained, because I’m grateful for a comfortable bed, but I often peruse the bedroom furniture online.  Afterwards, I was usually a bit bummed because I figured that as long as we rented this house, we wouldn’t be able to use our bed.  I know there are platform beds available, but to be honest, we had those for three years in Korea and I’d like to be up a little higher.  So tonight my heart jumped for joy when I envisioned moving two thinner box springs up the stairs and getting our mattress up off the floor.  Yes!  Will the bed be too big?  Who cares.  Haha! 

I’m going to have a talk with Matt.  I think we need to give each other some more space.
