Not lived in that arrangement yet, but suspect I might before I start sleeping in my own little jar??
I actually like the idea of my husband taking the master bedroom and wives each sleeping in their own bedroom. Many modern homes are built in a split bedroom floorplan to give the master room more privacy and a bath that is in suite. Everyone, including hubby gets their own closet, dressers, desk space and a place to be alone if so desired.
Don't even need to call it a "Master suite" if the term bothers someone. How about just "Dave's room" or something like that. If there is an every other night rule, which seems pretty over scheduled to me, and a wife is germ phobic, take 5 minutes and put your own sheets on the bed, have your own shelf in the bathroom linen closet, everybody wash the tub when they are finished like they should anyway. If you're a family you are going to share your germs throughout the rest of the house anyway, unless you have your own chairs too.
How many families can afford a home big enough to provide two or three master bedrooms? Plus all the other space a family needs. I don't really like the separate houses idea, but if they are in a duplex arrangement, adjoining doors and easy access that would probably work too, again it could be a question of available money.
And the bottom line, each family needs to work out the most comfortable arrangement within their budget. As long as it provides for both family and private time for all concerned, about the same as any other family needs, it becomes the correct arrangement for that family.
