The bedroom is the place of the encounter with the other. Between two persons, says Chesterton, there is an abysm: there are no words to express the gap that exists between being alone and having an ally. If we can concede the mathematicians that four is two times two; but two are not two times one: two are two thousand times one. 

​

The most dangerous place in the house is the bedroom, because it's the place of love and birth (sometimes also of death), that are the greatest human adventures. This place is a port where the most exceptional matches and mismatches occur. The arrivals and departures. To welcome or to reject, to donate yourself or to hurt yourself. They happen in small distances, mark our lives, build a house and a family, or even make it unhappy and unbundled.

​

Marriage is an irreversible adventure. Getting married is to start to belong to another, a happiness, a risky gesture, romantic, unique, decisive. The greatest thing that a man can give to someone is a promise.

​

In the bed the two bodies meet, with two desires of infinite; two mysterious and incomplete beings, that search for happiness and cannot fully give it to each other. Only a sense of wonder allows you to say to the beloved: it’s good that you exist. On the contrary, treating the other like a toy will lead, with time, to incomprehension and boredom and, in the end, to being mutually left in a corner.

​

In no other place in the house is it required more conscience, more reason, more feelings and more freedom than in the couple’s bedroom. Because there we share a place that belongs to two people, given to one another as a free gift, product of the love, and that only an infinite gratitude can correspond. We will have to ask ourselves every day: Are we amazed by the person that shares the bed with us? Do we see them as the first time?

​

Chesterton said that if a man lays sane, doing that without need for apologies, he will get up even more sane. The bed is the place for rest and for pleasure. It is the place for idleness, in opposition of the business. It is the place of the efficiency and effectiveness denial that makes life inhuman.

​

There is no more special moment in a day than awakening reliving the present of a new day. The second most important moment is to rest, leaving God to take care of the world. These two moments have their temple in this room, called bedroom.
