Lay out your expectations. Understanding each other’s daily routines and lifestyle norms can ease the transition of living with your significant other. It’s important to be vocal about what you’re willing to give up and what you simply can’t live without. When you know what to expect from each other, you will know how to accommodate both of your needs.
Make Compromises. Now that you've laid out your expectations, you will need to make compromises. If you’ve lived on your own for a while, you’re going to have to make a sacrifice–even little ones can make a big difference. Making accommodations isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it’s one of the most successful ways to seamlessly transition into your new living situation.
Communicate. You've heard it said 100 times. “Communication is key.” This couldn’t be truer when it comes to living with your sweetheart. Knowing how to support each other during stressful times is essential to creating a stress-free home. Sometimes one small gesture is all it takes.
Embrace each other’s habits. Especially the quirky ones. A daily habit like tucking in the corners of the bed sheets may make you roll your eyes, but having a neat looking bed to come home to after a long day can be a perk of living together. If you both find yourselves binging on TV shows, try finding a new one to watch together.
Maintain a balanced lifestyle. Maintaining a balance between your life as a couple and your individual life is crucial advice for living with your sweetheart. Respecting your relationships with others as well as your romantic relationship is a challenging commitment, but a rewarding one.
