Separate bedrooms, a not so novel idea?

So having become a full time mom and fully dedicating myself to breastfeeding 100% I found that having my baby near me makes it a whole lot easier to get some sleep during the night, as oppose to getting up, walking to the crib picking him up, feeding etc..all through the night. Now this arrangement worked just swell until our son started to wiggle about and pushed my husband slowly but surely out of the bedroom. What a "horror" you  must think to yourself, right? Wrong. A few months in, we began to see the beauty of having some occasional space between us. I now realize why back in the day...way back it was the norm to have two master suites one for the lady of the house and one for the man of the house. Although our decision stemmed from a necessity for much desired rest for all of us, I can see us creating a second bedroom in the future just for the heck of it. Now don't get me wrong having separate bedrooms does not necessarily mean always sleeping apart, however it does make sleeping together a whole lot more special...just like you felt when you first met and the sparks were flying and you never wanted to leave this persons side since it must have physically hurt you to do so.
Well perhaps I over exaggerate, but think of Romeo and Juliet that must have rejoiced to heaven in those few moments that they had together. How utterly romantic new love is. Well if Romeo and Juliet were married like the rest of us and shared a bedroom each and every night...what a bore would have become of them in 5 or 10 years time. There would be absolutely no mystery left but simply the mundane existence day in and day out. That is the "tragedy" of many marriages now a days that can't seem to get a grasp on things or to be more frank can't let go of the grasp on each other.
Plus having the two different rooms gives all the more choice of where you would like to spend the night or if you simply want to pop in for a surprise visit, or for some even setting a date and time can be a form of foreplay. As we all know it is all in the anticipation that much of the fun lies. That and having some time to miss your partner makes all those little touches that used to drive you wild...really drive you wild.
