The Big Move

By Leanne Hudson

Whether it’s your place, their place or a whole new place, moving in with your partner can be quite an experience. But how can you make sure it’s a good one?

If you’ve reached the point where you spend practically every night with your partner, you might think living together won’t be much different. But there’s a big chance it will. Moving in with your partner changes the dynamics of your relationship, and arguments about dirty laundry and household bills could soon spoil your romance. But one thing can make all the difference – communication.

“I can’t stress how important it is,” says Charlotte Beaumont-Field, Wellbeing Manager of the Reach Out program, run by the Inspire Foundation charity. “Talking is vital and helps reduce the risk of failure. It helps you see if you’re on the same page as your partner and avoid a lot of heartache.”
