marriage beds
Spouses' shared sleeping
Marriage beds are the beds where married couples sleep together.
The term carries connotations of sexual intimacy and marital fidelity—to defile the marriage bed is to commit adultery.
The phrase often appears in religious or formal contexts discussing the sanctity of married life: Let the marriage bed be undefiled.
