Twin Bedrooms instead of twin beds?

I was reading an article in the paper today that many married couples are requested "twin" master bedrooms so both husband and wife can each have their own "bedroom".

In 2005 a typical upscale, 4,000 square feet,house that was built had two but equal master bedrooms. Now, not only two separate bathrooms and dressing areas but two separate master bedrooms. Interesting. Do you think that is why houses are growing into enormous, almost ridiculous looking "buildings."

Actually, some home builders say that as early as 1985 they have had requests for two separate master bedrooms. It use to be that the belief was two separate bedrooms meant trouble in the marriage but that perception is changing. Usually one spouse is a snoring sleeper is what I have read about the two bedroom life style.

Remember early TV when Bob Petree (Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore) and what-was-her-name, his wife had to sleep in twin beds because of moral regulations in TV broadcasting. Too funny! Well it's become reality. Full circle but for different reasons, I guess.
