There have been numerous stories as to why married couples choose to have king-sized beds as compared to smaller options such as queen size beds or twin beds.

Some believe that the king size affects certain aspects of a married couples relationship such as intimacy while others like the space that it provides especially when the couple has kids.

Plive.co.ke sought out to get some answers and to find out why exactly married couples opt for king-sized beds.

1.Space

For the married couples that have children a king size bed seems like the perfect option for them.

“It most definitely provides more room when you have kids,” said Jane, a mother of two who has been married for seven years.

The kids do not sleep in the bed the entire night but it definitely saves couples from the kicks and blows from their kids turning in bed all the time.

If your partner is one of those that have annoying sleeping habits such as snoring or knocking you out of bed, then a king size bed can help you get a piece of mind.

"A queen size bed is too small especially when you want your own personal space. We do not always cuddle and touch the entire night because it does get hot and uncomfortable sometimes," Jane said.

4.Arguments

A bit of a downside when it comes to having a king sized bed is that it can sometimes prolong an argument or somehow make you ignore some issues that you may be having in your relationship.

The bedroom is an intimate room that you and your partner get to share some of your inner deepest secrets and serves as a place for the both of you to unwind.

They also added that negative memories are harder to shake off as compared to positive memories.

In short, never go to bed angry at each other.
