You know how NOT making a decision is ACTUALLY making a decision?
The best decision we NEVER made was this:
No TV in our bedroom
We just never had one in there.
What an awesome blessing it has been.
We have two options: Sleep or Engage with one another (ie. Sex).
Here is a great quote from Bob DeMoss:
“I am convinced that the simple decision to unplug TV [even] for just one month has the power to revolutionize our relationships with our spouse, our children, our world, and most importantly with our God.”
We have been known to cut out TV for a couple months during rerun summer. No American Idol or Numb3rs.
Its amazing the things you enjoy when there is no tv.
Apply that to your marriage bedroom.
Wow. No TV in your bedroom? Think of all the things you could be enjoying together!
Really.
So the Marriage Advice is this: Toss the TV out of your bedroom.
You’ll thank me later.
This concludes our Broadcast day.

I have to disagree with removing the TV from the bedroom. It is not the TV that is the issue but how it is used. My wife and I have been married for 23 year and have always had a TV in the bedroom. We use it as a marital aide. We both are busy and by the time we climb in to be each evening we are exhausted. When the lights go out our eyes close and the snoring starts. The TV allows us to stay awake a few minutes longer so that we can end the day cuddled, holding hands, and even the rare spark of lust. We watch Leno, Conan, or Steward, and Colbert each night talking about the day, our kids, and our life. We also watch movies together, discuss interesting news items we see while getting dressed in the morning, and even using it as a radio (and white noise) when are “intimate.” It is not the TV that is the issue it is the love of the TV that is the issue. Yes it can be distracting but used right it can enhance the time people spend together.
