Love will keep us apart

New research has revealed the extreme measures British couples go to in order to strengthen their relationship, with one in ten sleeping in separate bedrooms every night of the week.

The study, by esure home insurance, found that 13% of British couples sleep in separate beds at least once a week, and more than a fifth often have ‘time out’ from each other to do separate things such as staying with friends or family.

The study found that nearly two fifths of Brits believe they have a healthier relationship with their partner because they have greater independence in their home life, while 5% think that having separate rooms is one of the main reasons they are so happy in their relationship.
