Matthew McConaughey Is a Queen-Sized Bed King

""The wife's on one side with her side table, and the husband's on the other side, and it's great when you got all three kids, but all of a sudden the kids get too big. They're out of the bed," he said. McConaughey said he and his wife, Camilla Alves, followed in their friends' footsteps, only to feel more distant than ever."

""I wake up one morning...I'm looking over there and Camilla's like a football field away, man," he said. "Then you go to bed at night, like you want to snuggle up ... 'Come about 12 feet and I'll come 12 feet.' He concluded that the bed was 'not good for the marriage, man.' "Get rid of that son of a bitch," McConaughey went on. "So we got a queen size where we're shoulder to shoulder. I'm telling you, it's good for your marriage.""

Matthew McConaughey recommends replacing king-size mattresses with queen-size beds to foster intimacy in marriage. He recounts a family friend's oversized bed that accommodated children but created distance between partners once the children grew. He and his wife tried a large bed and felt physically and emotionally farther apart. McConaughey describes waking to find his partner a long way away and concludes that excessive bed size is detrimental to marriage. He advises couples to downsize to a queen so partners sleep shoulder to shoulder and regain closeness.
