Is the next step for your and your partner moving in and living together?

I totally understand and of course, with every decision, like moving in with your significant other, there are lots of pros and cons. I moved in with my long-term partner after graduating from university and it was a great decision! It really pushed us to communicate and work together as a couple.

Some people plan to live with their partner for a long time while others move in a lot sooner than most! Both options really depend on the couple and their stage and comfortability in the relationship.

I was with my (now) husband for 5/6 years before moving in together. It was a bit different for us as we were high school sweethearts but it both felt like it was the right time to live together. We are also very open about marriage and starting a family so we knew this was the right step up to find out how compatible we were together. I know that there are a lot of people who are against that but I am all for it.

Marriage to me is still very sacred and should not be taken lightly and I can’t see myself marrying someone before getting to know them as close to entirely as possible.

I truly believe that living together is the ultimate test in a relationship. This is where everything is real and you can’t just leave when things get tough. Chances are you’ll be sleeping in the same bed and will start from a smaller apartment or living space. You’ll need to have strong communication skills if you plan on moving in with your significant other.

When my (now) husband and I moved in together, we were fresh college graduates so we wanted to start small and move our way up! We found a small bachelor suite that had a six-month lease and it was perfect for us! The suite was quite far from family but it was nice to spend time with each other in the “honeymoon phase” of living together. We knew that we would move and find somewhere else to call home after 6 months but it was a great start!

After 6 months we were just about sick of being in the same room together because as we are total opposites and have different hobbies and knew it was time to find a bigger place preferably with an extra bedroom.

Since then, we’ve only been upgrading and now we are living in a full 3 bedroom townhouse and renting until we can purchase our very own property!

Moving forward, we’ve been living together for 4 years and now married, I thought it was a great time to write a post on moving in with your significant other.

Have you ever lived with a partner? What was your experience? Let me know the good and the bad in the comments!

HERE ARE Tips On Moving In With Your Significant Other:

Extra Space

Depending on how you are as people, make sure that you have space to be yourself as well. I am very crafty and self-employed and my husband is a gamer so we need separate workspaces to do the things we like! Make sure that the place you move into has a separate living space for you. I always take the living room and my husband takes the extra room to set up a man cave. It works for us and may not work for other people but I highly recommend setting space aside if you have the opportunity and budget.

Establish How to Maintain the Household Chores/Jobs

Before you even sign any leases, make sure to establish who’s doing what and make a list. If you’re moving out at a young age, you might’ve had parents who do a majority of the household chores but when you move out, it is all on you to pull your weight and maintain your household! If one of you is struggling, ask for help OR don’t be afraid to let it go for a day and relax if the other partner isn’t willing to do it.

Make Time For Date Night/Quality Time

Even though it may feel like because you live with each other, you’re together so much that there’s no need for a date night but trust me on this. Have a consistent day of the week for date night. Living together is different as you’ll see the good, bad, beautiful, and ugly moments of each other. Don’t let that get in the way of your connection. There will be times where you forget but take a step back and remember the reason why you moved in together.

Be Honest With Your Finances

This is super important as anyone and everyone can get carried away with money arguments. Determine finances off the bat and be honest. Money is such a huge part of our relationships and lives whether we like it or not. It’s good to have the conversation early and discuss any future goals you may have that require spending. This will help you not be so stressed out down the road and cause a strain in your relationship so soon. Have a list of non-negotiables and what would happen if one of you lost your jobs so you’re prepared.

Have Fun

Don’t forget that moving in with your significant other is fun! Living with someone is a roller coaster and it makes life so fun and unpredictable! For my husband and I at least, we got married exactly one year of moving in together and time seems to be moving so fast! We’ll want to do bigger things such as pets, kids, and a house and it’ll seem like ages ago where your relationship was just the two of you. So be sure to cherish all these moments!

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re planning on moving in with your significant other. So, good luck to you and I wish you all the happiness during this change!

Are you excited to be moving in with your significant other? I’d love to read about it!
