Husband sleeping separate from wife

Q:

1. I have a bedroom in which I sleep with my 3 year old daughter. Theres lots of space in my room but my husband does not sleep in the same room as me. Do u think he should sleep in the same room or is it ok for him to sleep seperate from me?

2. Is it wrong for both of us to sleep in one bed as we have children aged 18 to 3 years?

3. Is it wrong for my children to see us sleeping in one bed?

A:

1. It is better that he sleeps with you.

2. The children could be in one room and you and your husband can be in one room.

3. No. You do not have to be making love in their presence, but it is fine to be in one bed at the same time.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
