With changing times, marriage is not the only part that couples need to worry about. Moving in with your partner before marriage is a big step, and needs to be given a lot of thought. Here are some tips you must keep in mind before you decide to do the same:

 

Discuss it: Have a conversation about what your plans are in the near future. It shouldn't turn out that one of you expects marriage and the other is totally unaware of any such plans. Chalk out your tentative plans.

 

Finances are important: When it comes to money, even the best of relationships go haywire. Talk about how you would deal with the finances — from the rent, to the bills and also, other matters that involve money — settle it out before you start fighting over it.

 

Share work: When living together, it is important that both of you share work and act as a couple. It is unfair if just one of you ends up being part of all the domestic chores. So, if you don't want to be treated like the maid of the house, discuss dividing work before taking the giant step.
