Many of us are always grumbling that our partners/ spouses don't pay us any attention at the end of the day, when it's time for bed. Either the laptop is in use, the mobile phone is continually beeping with SMS alerts or the highlights of the last cricket match are blaring on television.

So we're asking you -- if you had your way, which five appliances would you kick out of your bedroom in order to improve your relationship?

Which are the most annoying gadgets your partner makes use of, that you'd like to have out of the way at bedtime?

Do you believe that a couple should bond with meaningful conversation or shared interests before going to sleep each night?

We invite readers to share their experiences, opinions and advice with us regarding modern appliances that hamper a bedroom relationship, and cause your partner to spend less quality time with you at the end of the day.
