Thursday May 8, 2008
Even though many relationship and sleep experts warn against having a television in your bedroom, many couples make the decision to have a TV in their bedroom anyway.

Debbie Magids, Ph.D: "TV may very well be a relationship enhancer. Couples have bonded over favorite shows they watch together, every night or every week -- no matter what! It’s a chance to snuggle up in bed and make a pact to have alone time: The phone doesn’t get answered and the emails pile up on the computer in the next room."
