You Don’t Have To Be Married To Share A Bed

That’s not what we mean, though! Instead, sharing a bed is meant for courting couples to build stronger bonds and develop their relationship. The Amish still preach abstinence until marriage, although very few communities keep a close eye on it.

There are, of course, rules to courting couples sharing a mattress, and one of them is that they must be fully clothed in bed and must have a conversation each evening. Also, because of the close-knit nature of the community, it’s not uncommon for couples to be distantly related. Sometimes, when options are low for a person, parents send them to other communities in the hope of finding a partner.
