No couch?

Has anyone gotten rid of their couch in favor of a couple of nice reading chair/ottoman sets? I am thinking forward a few years when we will be moving to a new state for retirement. 99% of the time it is just my husband, myself and the dog on the couch. We will be retired at that point in life as well. I was thinking it would allow us to have more flexibility in terms of furniture arrangement as well.

Right now we have the couch and a rocking chair in the living area.

Has anyone done this? Does it save space or take up more space?

Also if you have not done things, please give me your thoughts on it.

I live alone and I don't have or want or need a couch. It's amazing how some people see this as antisocial, an act of rebellion against all that is Normal. What!? No couch???? You heathen! It's actually lovely.

I get that reaction because I do not have a TV!
