Moving In Together & Making It Work

One of the rites of passage of any relationship is when you get to the point where you are going to be moving in together. If you are coming to that in your relationship soon then you will probably be keen to ensure that you do it right, so that you can make the most of it and ensure that you are both happy with the decisions you are making. That means that you should be aware of what you need to do in order to make it work, and that’s something that can be very hard to do at items. In this article, we are going to take a look at some of the things to bear in mind on this front to ensure that you can make it work as well as possible.

Make Decisions Together

It is important that you both make a point of making all of the major decisions together. If you fail to do this properly, you are going to find that you struggle to ensure you are both happy, and if you are not careful one of you might end up resenting the other at some point in the future. Ensure that you are both happy with whatever you are doing so that you can really get to grips with living together from the very start. Even small decisions should be made jointly until you both have a clear idea of what the other person generally wants. Communication is key here.

Decorate The Home Personally

If you can make a point of decorating the home in such a way that it is as personal to the both of you as possible, then you are going to find that it is much more likely to be a great space for you both as a couple. There are many ways you can hope to do this. An obvious one is to look into putting up many photographs of you and your time together, so that you can fully and truly look back together. You might also want to think about having one or two items around the home which remind you both of your relationship and what it means to you, such as a figurine made from couples casting kits for instance. This is a great way to make the home feel personal to the both of you.

Dividing Chores

A common argument that many couples have is how to divide out the chores. The important thing here is that you do so fairly, and that you make a point of sticking to whatever you decide. Although you might not want to get too cold and clinical about it, it is often the case that having a roster can help you to ensure that you are each doing your fair share. In other cases, you might find that it is possible to merely just do it organically and let the other person know you feel they are not doing their share. Communicating honestly is important here.
