A short episode of The Naked Marriage Podcast (Dave & Ashley Willis) advising couples to remove phones from the bedroom to protect relationship intimacy. The speaker argues that keeping phones in the bedroom invites a ‘‘third person’’ into the space (people interact with their phones instead of each other), recommends keeping only necessary devices (e.g., fan or sound machine) and setting clear boundaries (use tools, but avoid scrolling), and frames saying goodnight/good morning as acts that should be directed at one’s spouse rather than a device.

Chapters

If you have phones in your bedrooms, take them out. They're now saying that if you have a phone in your bedroom, you have invited another person. If you both have, you have four people in your bedroom because you're saying good night to your phone and good morning to your phone, not to your spouse. Right? Now, I've had people come up against me with that saying, well, it turns on my fan. It's my sound machine. Okay? That's a boundary. Then use it for the tool. And then say good night to that. Don't allow yourself to sit and scroll on it.
