Now, granted, you may be in a relationship where you don’t officially live with someone but spend several nights a week at their home, or they spend several nights at yours.
Your partner may have a spare toothbrush and a designated dresser drawer at your house. While that’s great and certainly brings you closer, it’s still not the equivalent of sharing a home with someone.
When you start building a home with someone, you have to make some difficult decisions, sacrifices, and adjustments to your everyday routine. That’s also what you’d have to do when you get married to someone.
So, if you’re feeling serious about your partner and want to know if you have a forever future together, I highly suggest you move in with them.
If you can, start from scratch and get a new home or apartment together. Try living with your partner for at least one to two years to see how you can co-exist.
Then, when you realize you and your partner enjoy and are capable of sharing a daily life together, consider tying the knot.
After all, if you want to marry someone, you should hopefully be comfortable with the idea of living with them before doing it.
What are some other things you want to get done before getting hitched?
