Half joking, half serious…

Everyone I know in a long, happy marriage seems to swear that having separate bathrooms is a game-changer - less friction, more privacy, fewer arguments about mess and timing.

Obviously plenty of couples share and survive just fine but I’m starting to wonder whether separate bathrooms are an underrated relationship saver.

I thought it was bedrooms 🤔

Bedrooms
Bathrooms
Cars
Finances

And in some cases, separate houses 😁
