Chrissy admits they began sleeping in separate rooms because she got sick one year and had a very persistent cough.

"Because of my cough, one of us would end up sleeping on the couch or in the guest bedroom." And after it went away, they realized they liked sleeping in separate rooms.

"I am not cranky, and neither is he. We still cuddle in bed and watch TV, but when it is time to sleep, he will go to his bedroom to sleep." She said.

She said, "Sleeping in separate beds does not equate to a bad marriage. If anything, it improves it for us."
