how often do most married (newly) couples shear a bed?

I move to a new country to marry my beautiful Wife and become Daddy to her little girl....

Most nights they sleep together and i sleep on the Couch, I want what is best for both of them, as im the the one who has moved in to there life's, not them in to mine.... My Wife has asked me if im ok with it....and iv said yes its ok sweetie, what ever is best for you both....I do not want to come across as an ass hole by saying she should sleep in here own bed.... as they are both the most important people in my life and id do anything for them...

Im just interested in what people think...

Update:

I should add iv been here 5 months

Update 2:

I guess i am just asking what other people that have taken on and stepped up to the role as dad....have gone thru....

and when i say most nights im talking 6/7 nights a week.

Update 3:

Wow two nights a week, for our time. i thought 2/3 times a month was doing well.....

Look these two have been thru a lot, before they came into my life....iv see them both grow so much, over the months since iv been here.....I don't want to undo the growth and trust that im building, is giving them space for this good, or am i just a push over?

Update 4:

    Some couples don't share a bed at all. But by share the bed, do you mean sleep or sex? Sex is more important than sleeping in the same bed. So if your sex life is ok, I would say don't worry too much about it. If it's not, suggest that two nights a week are your special nights where her daughter must sleep in her own bed. Also, you should not be sleeping on the couch when the kid has her own bed. Cant you sleep in her bed or at least get a full size mattress for you?

    Well, since you asked, I think your wife is a very lucky woman. I also think that it might be time for a second conversation that determines how long this is supposed to go on. You may want to work out a timetable that gradually tapers the amount of nights she sleeps with the child until the situation reaches a correct balance and everyone is sleeping where they are supposed to sleep for the night.

    She's probably just trying to let her daughter know that even though there's another person living in the house that it doesn't mean any of her attention will be leaving her. Give it time. Maybe 2-3 months. Your wife should slowly start to make the transition to sleeping in your marital bed by then. Good luck.

    The daughter needs her own bed and your wife needs to sleep next to you - The daughter needs to see your relationship with her mom is the primary relationship in her moms life . It's not normal
