What and how

Moving in together. How do you approach it? You both have your values, interests, belongings, and a pace at which you live your life. These are all matters you can raise in a conversation. Good communication is crucial if you're going to live together. And even though you may have already made the decision, deep down you might still be wondering: "Am I actually ready to move in with my partner?" This learning journey offers some good tips to help you make a well-thought-out choice. Perhaps wanting to live together is unusual or even unthinkable in your situation or environment. But thinking about it can't do any harm. Pick out the points that are relevant to you.

What will I do?
Suddenly living together 24/7 can be quite nerve-racking. This learning journey provides you with a living together checklist to help you. There are quite a few things you need to organize related to money, insurance, household chores, drafting a rental or sales contract, and a cohabitation agreement. You'll also get helpful tips about things that you have to arrange if you and your partner decide to move in together. But that's not all. There is also a values test you and your partner can take. The test reveals the value each of you attaches to certain matters. Do you have the same views on everything? Do you agree on everything? The test measures the value you attach to six key topics involved in living together: chores, initiative, visits, sleep, money matters, and vacations.
