How soon is too soon for moving in?

How soon is too soon for moving in?

By Miss Kes 

MANY couples are choosing to live together before marriage, as they say being in the same environment day after day will be the true test of whether the relationship can actually last.1. Privacy will be invaded2. The romance will dim3. It is no longer your needs and your space

Here are some factors to consider before you make that decision to move in.

Note that your privacy will surely be impacted as you will share space. Jumping the gun too soon before you are both willing to compromise will result in a false start.

When you’re together all the time your romantic life can die a slow death. Seeing each other every day after a while can affect the chemistry, and you could be miserable every second.

 You may think when you move in that you will be able to do the things you’d usually do with ease, but it will be quite the opposite as you will be required to share almost everything. This is a major step and that is why it is really ideal to wait and spend time to know the person before you make a huge step.
