Sad, but true. It would be ridiculous to think we could tell a roommate what to do on Sunday morning and yet, when it’s our spouse, the urge definitely creeps in.

Yes, there are rooms you probably spend more time in than your living room. But in most homes, the main activity in the living room is relaxing. Hanging out.
