Q: National Association of Home Builders says it expects 60% of custom homes to have 2 of these this year?

A: 2 master bedrooms

The marital bed, once a symbol of holy matrimony, may someday be a relic of the past. Why?

Separate sleeping arrangements are so popular that the National Association of Home Builders says it expects 60% of custom homes to have dual master bedrooms by this year. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt often sleep in separate rooms, says a former bodyguard. As Barbara Tober, the former chairwoman of the Museum of Arts and Design, told The New York Times recently, “Not that we don’t love each other, but at a certain point you just want your own room.”
