# Many married men are lenient not to sleep in the Sukkah because sleeping alone wouldn't be a fulfillment of the mitzvah of living in the sukkah like we live in our homes. It is preferable that a man sleep with his wife in the [[Sukkah]] (not on nights of Onah or her Tevilah) to fulfill the requirement of dwelling in the [[Sukkah]] like one would in one’s home. However, some poskim hold that one shouldn't be lenient for these reasons. <ref>Rama 639:2 writes that reason for those who don't sleep in the sukkah if a married man would sleep alone in the sukkah that wouldn't be a fulfillment of the concept of dwelling in the sukkah like we dwell in our homes during the year. However, he concludes that it is preferable to sleep in a private sukkah with his wife. The Taz 639:9 asks on the Rama that if he is correct the Sukkah should be pasul since it isn't fit to be used for sleeping (Rama 640:3). Rather he defends the minhag in another fashion. He writes that a married man has a mitzvah to sleep in the same room as his wife to gladden his wife even if she isn't tahor. That mitzvah makes him exempt from the sukkah. The Magen Avraham 639:8 has a different justification which is that a person would be pained about not being able to sleep in the same room as his wife and someone who is pained by the sukkah is exempt. He explains that this doesn't render the sukkah pasul since it is fit for sleeping and he just has a personal external exemption. Rav Ovadia Yosef in Chazon Ovadyah (pg 196) agrees with the Taz. | # Many married men are lenient not to sleep in the Sukkah because sleeping alone wouldn't be a fulfillment of the mitzvah of living in the sukkah like we live in our homes.

* The Gra 639:13 argues with the Rama. Following the Gra, Mishna Brurah 639:18 writes that men are obligated to sleep in the [[Sukkah]] without their wives and it’s not pained by not sleeping in the same room as his wife unless it’s the night of Onah. </ref> | * The Gra 639:13 argues with the Rama.

# On a night when the couple has Onah or the night of Tevilah the man isn't obligated to sleep in the [[Sukkah]]. <Ref> Rama 639:2 writes that many are lenient not to sleep in the [[Sukkah]] since a man can’t sleep with his wife in the [[Sukkah]] unless he has a private [[Sukkah]]. However, the Mishna Brurah 639:18 quotes the Gra who argues on this saying that a married man is obligated in [[Sukkah]] even if he can’t sleep with his wife in the [[Sukkah]]. However, the Mishna Brurah concludes that on nights when there is a mitzvah of Oneh or the women has her Tevilah night, they may sleep outside the [[Sukkah]] so as not to miss the mitzvah of Pru Urevu, assuming that it’s not private enough in the [[Sukkah]]. This is also the opinion of Chazon Ovadyah (pg 194). </ref> | # On a night when the couple has Onah or the night of Tevilah the man isn't obligated to sleep in the [[Sukkah]]. <Ref> Rama 639:2 writes that many are lenient not to sleep in the [[Sukkah]] since a man can’t sleep with his wife in the [[Sukkah]] unless he has a private [[Sukkah]].
