Love is in the air!!!
Your relationship has grown from weekend nights out, to daily phone calls and texts, to wanting to spend as much time as possible together.
And you’re now ready to take The Next Step and ask your Beloved to move in with you!
It’s a big step. It’s sometimes scary (hopefully in a good way!) but you’re secure and mature in your relationship to do it.
So here’s a few tips for couples contemplating moving in together …
First things first – before you begin wondering how to organize a successful relocation and make the most of your shared life, you need to be sure that you actually want to move in with your boyfriend or girlfriend – that it’s the right time to do so. So, when is it right to move in together? How long should couples wait before making the big leap?
You may as well ask how long is a piece of string! Most people think that one year into a relationship is a good time to move in together (by then a couple should know pretty well if things are going well enough to consider living together), but this may feel like “rushing” to some and “dragging” to others.
No one can tell you how soon to move in together – the right time to do it is when you’re both ready for such a huge step in your relationship:
Moving in together should feel like a natural evolution of your relationship, and a deepening of your relationship rather than a convenience or something that you’re “expected” to do (especially if you’ve been dating for a long time!). You should never EVER feel pressured or coerced into take this step. If you are, you really really need to listen to your gut instincts! Moving in together shouldn’t something you’re doing for any other reason other than wanting to take The Next Step with your Significant Other … not because you might save money on living expenses, or your lease is up, or you finally want to get out of your parents house!
Make you decision based on what your heart tells you. Not on what social expectation are, or convenience dictates or others think!
