  • SHARING SPACE – Obviously the space you’d be sharing has to be comfortable for both of you in every sense of the word. Whether it an established space like your house or a new space, it is best to first assess your belongings and dispose off anything that you don’t really need or like anymore. Whether it is giving away stuff to your loved ones, selling them and making some extra money or donating them to charity, whatever you decide, make sure both your valuables are practically useful and space saving for both of you.

  • FEELING AT HOME – Redo your living space together. Set it up with a décor you both like, furnish and adorn it to both your liking, make it into a cozy and secure abode where you both would be at ease and in complete harmony. Both of you should have a sanctuary of your own, if the house is big enough then perhaps ample independent space for both of you, or a common space with a set time out for you separately.

  • LIVING HAPPY – It is true that you both have come this far knowing each other well, aware of each other’s strengths and weaknesses, however now when you’d be living together under the same roof, you need to respect each other’s perspectives, emotions, habits and agree on issues comfortably.

  • HARMONY IN ORGANIZATION – With your individual routines and schedules, it is only fair that you both share different responsibilities to avoid getting inconvenienced in any manner. Do up your home with things that would make both your lives’ easier. For instance, have independent alarm systems that would wake you alone and not disturb your partner, if you need to be awake at a different hour; have an appropriate charging station, where all your devices can be charged at once. Split up your closet and drawers where ever you have them with organizers, so that both of you have enough space and more to place your things. If you both have your individual TV preferences, then its best to set aside a routine time for your individual pleasures, for which you can also have wireless headphones, so that your partner doesn’t get disturbed. Make life as easy, accessible and comfortable for both of you, as much as you can organizing and prioritizing your needs and desires.

  • ABUNDANT LIFESTYLE – Living under the same roof comes with its set of expense sharing as well. Now, with both of you using and purchasing amenities together, it is only fair that you both also share your living expenses. You both can make it easier by tracking all your expenses, your earnings and set goals for a financially secure future together. In addition, share all household chores and related responsibilities like social commitments for each other.
