031: Listener Question – Do All Couples Go to Bed at the Same Time?

Today’s episode is a listener request!



On this week’s episode, we are taking a request from a listener who asked this:

I think it’s a fascinating topic! He thinks more couples go to bed at different times than I do. It’s been a discussion point in our relationship going on 14 years.
