Living With Your Partner For the First Time

When the relationship is ready for it many people consider living together as a kind of test run before marriage. Opinion is divided on this issue as to whether or not living together makes marriage any more successful or not however to most people is does seem like a logical step.

The point we must realise is that in most cases, fusing two separate lives together into one is going to have complications. Firstly you have to learn how to accept and make compromises with your partner, it a way it's like searching for the boundaries you can both live with without either one feeling that they are sacrificing a core belief.

There could be quite a few arguments in the first 3 months as both of you adjust to this new shared life and you'll probably learn a great deal of new things about your partner in the process. The most important things will be to always take care of your basic friendship and your ability to share and interact as friends do. Wherever there is true love there is also true caring and you should be working to listen to your partner and in thinking of how you can fulfill their needs in the relationship.

Lastly don't neglect your own needs either. Learn how to effectively communicate these so your partner has at least a fighting chance of making your truly happy. It's only when both of you are content is this way that you'll genuinely begin to trust in the longevity of the relationship and have the faith to dream into the future together without fear.
