The decision to move in with your spouse is an exciting milestone in a relationship. It is the start of a new chapter where you are able to merge lifestyles, goals, and daily routines.

In this article we will discuss the joys and overcoming the challenges of moving in with your spouse.

Your home can be a symbol of the unity between you and where you can grow and nurture your relationship. It is important to communicate openly about your expectations, responsibilities, and aspirations for your new home. Most importantly, do not let the possible stress overtake the experience and enjoy it!
Dealing with Excess Possessions- If you have been living in the same space for a long time, it can be easy to lose track of how many possessions you have. Each spouse may want to bring their belongings, furniture, and some memories that hold sentimental value from their previous homes. Self-storage is a great option if you need to find a temporary, or long-term home for those belongings you both wish to keep but do not currently need. This allows for a clutter-free environment in your new home, creating a neat and peaceful atmosphere as you settle into your new life together.
