Matthew McConaughey says one furniture swap in the bedroom strengthened his marriage
"The wife's on one side with her side table, and the husband's on the other side, and it's great when you've got all three kids, but all of a sudden the kids get too big. They're out of the bed,"
"I wake up one morning. I'm looking over there, and Camilla's like a football field away, man. Then you go to bed at night, like you want to snuggle up, and 'Well, we've got to cover up. You come about 12 feet and I'll come 12 feet,'"
"So we got a queen-size where we're shoulder to shoulder. I'm telling you, it's good for your marriage,"
"You've got kids, so you're spending as much time being a good mother and father to them, but you also got to make sure - and I can do a better job of this - of going, 'No, this is our time,'"
Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves moved from a king-size bed to a queen-size bed to reduce physical distance and increase closeness. Very large beds can create unintended separation once children stop sharing the bed, with parents ending up at opposite sides. A queen-size keeps the couple shoulder to shoulder and encourages more intimacy at bedtime. The couple shares three children: Levi, 17; Vida, 15; and Livingston, 12. McConaughey emphasizes carving out dedicated time for his wife despite parenting responsibilities. The couple’s interactions and mutual treatment serve as a model for how their children will learn and understand love.
