15 things to consider when partners move in together

Disclaimer: I've never lived with a partner, so this is my inexperienced opinion.

1. Why do you want to live together?
2. What are your expectations for moving in together?
3. How will you consciously prioritize your relationship after moving in?
4. Whose place will you move into or will you get a new place?
5. How much do your schedules clash?
6. Do any of your habits clash?
7. Have you considered a roommate contract (basically setting up rules for living together)?
8. Who is responsible for what and when (both in terms of chores and bills)?
9. Who will have spare keys to the apartment?
10. What from where you live now is going to come with (for all parties involved)?
11. Have you considered scheduling time to each be alone in the space (alone time is important)?
12. Will you each have space that is just yours?
13. If you break up, who moves out?
14. What is this a step towards (or is it the final step)?
15. Have you considered relationship counseling just to make this adjustment (kind of like pre-marital counseling)?
