Free the Bedroom -- A Quick Rant about Bedtime

This post is primarily for couples (and anybody thinking about getting married some day).

I recently read an article about the Apple iPad that I only partly understood because I'm no tech guru.

The concept I did understand and which I reacted to was the author's statement -- "I loved [to] bring the Apple Air to bed to do my browsing..."  Here's my two cents.

Bedtime is for two things: sleep and sex.  And for married folks, both are equally important.  The bedroom is NOT a place to put an office (we learned that one the hard way).  The bedroom is NOT for work of any kind.  The bedroom is NOT for a television (a TV in the bedroom says a lot about your sex life).  And the bedroom is NOT for movie-watching.

The bedroom is for rest, peace, and alone time WITHOUT technology.  Learn to cultivate a sense of peace in your bedroom, and you'll sleep better and feel better.  Turn your bedroom into a home office, theater, or into just another place for a workaholic to browse the frickin' Internet, and you've got no place to take her when your best friend needs your undivided attention.

Step away from the computer and your so-called important "life" on the web and free yourself to truly enjoy the bedroom for the oasis it was meant to be.
