A couple of months ago I was listening to a conversation of some friends. They were talking about their sleeping habits. One was commenting on her king-size bed and how they have so much space they don't even know the other one's in bed. One was talking about how when she was first married she had to sleep touching her husband, even it was just her toes. She recalled how when she told her mom this that her mom laughed. Looking back she laughs too and now when sleeping they just want their own space.
I think about this when I cuddle up to Chris. Yes...we still spoon. As a matter of fact, I think we sleep spooned more than we did when we were first married. Even when our backs are facing each other I have my feet cuddled in his legs (especially because he sleeps really warm and my feet are always cold). I have a hard time sleeping when he's not there. And while I understand "sleeping space" I am glad we're still spooning. :)

this is something we have in common. I am so much more relaxed and and comfy if he is holding me, otherwise I can not get comfortable. I hope it's like that til we are old and feeble.
I'm a fan of spooning also. When we go stay in St. George and sleep in the king bed there I feel like we're miles away from each other. I sleep better knowing he's right next to me.
We sleep in a queen and it is the perfect size for us. I can't sleep well spooning (too hot), but it's a definite ritual before going to sleep. We do the toe touching thing, too. Cute post!
Totally relate, DeDee. I don't sleep well AT ALL w/o Steve. I need to feel the rhythm of his heartbeat. (Is that a song? ha ha)
I put my feet between Mark's legs, too, because they are always icicles. We don't really spoon during sleep because it's too hot, but we definately cuddle before we roll over. I don't want a king sized bed either - too far away!
I am totally with you, I remember when I got married and one of my cousins told me that soon we wouldn't want to snuggle, so we would sleep. Well it hasn't happened after almost ten years.
I am so glad that spooning hasn't lost it's appeal in my relationship. Although we recently moved up to a king sized bed, it's more for the kids than for us. We got tired of them climbing in bed with us in the morning after they woke up and telling us to move over, that they were squished. :) It's also fun to squeeze everyone together in bed to watch movies. But when it's just Zac and I we always have to be touching. Even if we have to lay diagonal to reach eachother with our feet in the night we always find ourselves searching for the other. I love it.
