Top 5 Things You Should Discuss Before Moving In Together

Before you move in look over the check list.

1. Are you Clean and neat and he is messy?

When living together sometimes people's cleaning habits do not match. If he orders pizza is one thing but when a mountain made out of pizza cardboard boxes is a permanent sculpture in your house-- you might rethink who you moved in with. After cooking a spaghetti dinner, does it look like a red explosion of sauce all over the stove, counters and microwave? Who is going to clean this mess which has hardened by the time you get home? Are the dirty dishes just left in the sink in some kind of scientific experiment to make green goo sprouting off food?

Opposites may attract but a clean home is priceless.

2. Are you active and the other inactive? Does your spouse or mate just sit on couch in front of the TV all weekend long? Do you enjoy walking, hiking, biking or roller skating down the beach? TV is fine but on all the time can drain one of valuable time that could be spent on doing fun things together.

You can easily start to look elsewhere for a fun buddy? So, make sure in dating if you enjoy your weekends on couch or out doing fun things.

3. You eat to stay fit, trim and healthy. He eats high carbs and meat. If the two of you eat completely different it causes friction. If one person is a vegan then meat eating will upset them. If one is Kosher then bacon in the refrig is definitely a no no.

Make sure on your dates you see if you are food compatible. Will your differences be ok to deal with on a daily bases?Can you handle him eating bacon while you munch on greens?

4. Spending Habits and finance. Does she shop all day long on your card? Are you thrifty? Is one of you a spendaholic and the other locks the cash in a bank vault with high security? There are sure to be some unhappy moments that need to be sorted out if these scenarios are the case. Make sure you understand your budget. A happy couple is one that knows how to spend money right. This is probably the biggest deal breaker in couples.

How can you give up your Louie? Or do you have to?

5. Are you compatible with your mind? Are you super educated and your partner could care less about history or art? If you don't share common interests it can cause a split in time which could lead to a split in the future. Are your smarts boring your partner? It's great to be carefree and creative but do you have a business savvy mind? Can these two personalities blend like oil and vinegar? Can you even decide on what furniture to put in home? Will you come home to a super wall papered flowery home when you wanted clean lines and modern furniture?

Make sure your differences are welcomed and not something to pull you apart.Your views on raising children, education and even religion are some things that should be discussed before taking the plunge in "I do." It's better to bring all the major cards out on table before than later. Compromise and discussion can do wonders.
