Für viele stellt sich schon nach einigen Wochen, für andere erst nach ein paar Jahren, die Frage „Wann ziehen wir eigentlich zusammen?“ Doch egal, ob früh oder spät: es gibt einige Punkte, die dabei helfen können, die Situation möglichst stressfrei werden zu lassen.

The following details show that actually nobody has to be afraid of the final moving in together. If you follow a plan here, you can prevent trouble and - by the way - often keep love fresh.

The first joint apartment

Tip No. 1: Compromise? Always welcome, but please not when looking for an apartment!

This is one of the most important rules of all: before signing the lease, both should agree that it is the right decision. If one of them does not like the apartment, it is important to listen to this kind of alarm bells.

Sooner or later, otherwise, exactly this kind of compromise could degenerate into a quarrel, initiated with the words "I've always told you that I don't like this apartment!" is introduced.

Tip #2: Find the right number of rooms

Some couples love to literally sit on each other all day. Others need a little more free space. Anyone looking for their first apartment of their own should be able to assess their partnership well in this respect.

In case of doubt, it is better to rent one room more, if possible, than to risk regular disputes afterwards. (Additional tip: A balcony that belongs to the apartment can actually often help - in the truest sense of the word - to take a deep breath).

Tip No. 3: A look at the details

Many couples love their joint wellness evenings and celebrate them downright. For this purpose - according to the opinion of some apartment hunters - a bathtub is needed in any case. Anyone who has such clear ideas about how they would like to live with their partner should definitely draw up a must-have list for their apartment. Otherwise, the "rude awakening" often follows after moving in at the latest. Other details that fall into this category include a larger dining room area and/ or a garden in which to relax in the summer.

Tip No. 4: Clarify financial issues early on

This is probably the most sensitive topic of all: money. Who has to pay how much and how are the costs distributed so that everything is as fair as possible? Especially when both earn roughly the same amount, the 50:50 variant is a good choice. All costs are divided equally and the potential for discussion is comparatively low.

But what if one of the two earns significantly more than the other? In this case, it's worth breaking down the difference exactly and then using percentage calculations.

However, it should not go unmentioned that there are also many couples who are very relaxed in connection with the topic of "finances". Here, the motto is often: he who can, pays.

Tip No. 5: Stay a couple and do not become a classic shared apartment

If you've been living together for a while, you know that after a while, the daily grind sets in. At this point, at the latest, it is important to remember again and again that passion and co. should not be left out.

Regular dates, meetings with friends and the realization that harmony does not always have to prevail can help to avoid many stress traps. In short: Even after several years, living together with your sweetheart can still be under a lucky star. Many couples even talk time and again about how the shared table and bed have brought them even closer together. With regard to the living situation, it can therefore be well worth being brave and jumping over your own shadow.
