Moving in with your partner – the right time

Of course, you can't say across the board when the right time to move in together is. Some couples move in after the very first date and everything goes great, and just as many couples prefer to wait longer to get to know each other even better and it still goes wrong.
There is no exact recipe and no guarantee that everything will go well, but it's advisable to keep a few basic things in mind so that your chances of moving in together are better.
Anyone who has ever been in love and found their supposed dream partner knows that you'd love to spend every free minute together, but does that mean giving up your apartment right away and moving in together? It's really advisable to get to know each other a bit better, which doesn't rule out spending every free minute together. That way you simply get the chance to see whether everything is still just as great when you're living on top of each other, or whether there are too many things that make moving in together simply impossible.
It's also never advisable to move in together for the wrong reasons, such as financial ones. That usually doesn't work out for long. You should move in together when you are both really sure and know each other's everyday quirks. To make sure moving in with your partner really succeeds, we asked around and put together a few practical tips.

Moving in with your partner – our 4 practical tips

Of course, you should never rush into moving in with your new partner, and you should think it over thoroughly beforehand. Our 4 tips can definitely make living together much more pleasant.

Tip 1
Turning "yours and mine" into "ours" has often proved to be a mistake, especially when only one of you gives up their apartment and the other moves into the partner's place. If you decide to move in together, that's a significant step in life and of course for the relationship, so why not rent a new place together?

Tip 2
Of course, especially at the beginning, freshly moved in together, you'd love to be together all the time, but that usually doesn't work out for long. So create enough personal space, separate hobbies, a spot to retreat to in the shared apartment, or another way to step aside and recharge, because not everyone has a good day every day and everyone needs time for themselves.

Tip 3
To make living together really work, there should of course be clear household rules, since after all you share the whole apartment. So talk together about who prefers to do what, and it's best to write these tasks down so they don't get forgotten.

Tip 4
Also, don't let money become a relationship killer when moving in together. Set up a shared household fund from the start and split all costs fairly.
