A bit of advice I received early in our marriage was relating to sharing things that need not be shared. If one of you wants to squeeze the toothpaste from the end and cap it after every use, and one of you wants to squeeze from the middle and leave the cap off, get another tube of toothpaste. We've been married 35 years, and I've never forgotten this. There are things that don't need to be shared that will make sharing an entire life much easier.

Growing up in Michigan, USA, everyone had a clothesline outdoors to hang laundry, bedding, blankets—not only to dry but to freshen as well. My Grandma always aired out our bedding almost daily. Overtime, people seemed to stop this practice in most areas. Many homeowner associations enacted ordinances about what could or could not be in your yard. Many people saw hanging laundry as looking messy or lowering the property value by having clutter outside.Despite this, I try to dry and freshen my comforters outdoors because there is nothing like the smell and crispness. You will definitely sleep like a baby ❤

I'm an American who lived most of my life in Virginia. Horribly hot/humid summers. Very distinct seasons. Hanging laundry on the line was a pleasure. Cows would line up by the fence and watch me peg clothes and bedlinens. An orgasmic pleasure; hanging bedlinens on the line, gardening and getting hot and sticky, getting a cool shower at the end of the day, getting into a line dried loose cotton nightie and slipping into the just made bed at the of the day. Nothing smells like line-dried cotton. A deep pleasure that cost nothing!!

We have separate bedrooms! I can sleep now! We love each other very much. He snores and has to have total blackness and quiet. I need a night light and meditation or sound. I like being snuggled warm. He likes freezing. It works great!❤

There was a TV show that aired in both Sweden and the U.S. called "Welcome to Sweden". I remember one scene where the Swedish wife was getting ready to leave for work. She looked through the peep hole in the apartment door to make sure none of the neighbors was outside so she didn't have to interact with them. A culture after my own heart! 😆

"Smells like snow and cold air" I'm from the Caribbean, nearly 50 and don't know what that's like. Hoping to start traveling one day 🙏

The cold kills dust mites too! Perfect for those with allergies. :)

how is it that people from Nordic countries can speak English with almost a perfect accent? Your Swedish vowels are very different from English sounds and yet you manage to do the transition so beautifully between the two.

I have a clothes line in my back yard. My neighbors don't like it but I'm not giving up my fresh, sunshine scented, bedding for anyone.

When the pollen is high as trees, grasses and other plants wake up in spring, people with allergies couldn't put their sheets and bedding out.. that would be horrible. But it totally makes sense to air it sheets in a dry cold climate. I love sleeping in the cold. It's hard to sleep when it's too warm and humid.

As a Norwegians, my husband and I also keep the window open during the winter. When extra cold, we were a beanie/ hood. Extras warm duvet with down and feathers. Best nights ever.

I live in Mumbai, India, which is very humid but we always hang our clothes out to dry in the sun. The sun is free and there's no better way of drying or airing out clothes and sheets. The smell of sundried sheets and clothes is absolutely the best.

My parents were Scottish we all slept during the day outside in the yard. Our dogs were always watching over the carriage.

Ok seriously though - how are you guys so much better than the rest of us??? I swear, Scandinavians are just further up the evolutionary ladder 🙌

My Irish Mom put me outside to sleep in Saskatchewan Canada in minus 40 degree .She thinks that is why I avoided getting ill during the polio epidemic in the 1950s

Omg swedish culture is an introverts DREAM 😂 just looking at that bus stop picture gave me joy. I’m Persian, the concept of “personal space” does not exist over here.

Coming from Denmark, I can confirm every single thing said about the Scandinavian sleep method in this video. Individual duvets are absolutely essential to a good nights sleep

Its less common now, but most older housekeeping books included open windows in the morning to air out sheets in the AM.
