Couple’s Realm

Opening context:
The Family, House for a Small Family, House for a Couple, Intimacy Gradient

Conflict

The presence of children in a family often destroys the closeness and the special privacy which a man and wife need together.

Resolution

Make a special part of the house distinct from the common areas and all the children’s rooms, where the man and woman of the house can be together in private. Give this space a quick path to the children’s rooms, but, at all costs, make it a distinctly separate realm.

Closing context:
Sitting Circle, Light on Two Sides of Every Room, Marriage Bed, Sleeping to the East, Bathing Room
