You could have a house re-warming party. Invite friends, neighbors, and family over and have a house-warming party as if you and your partner are just moving into this place for the first time.
Your partner will look at you a little judgmental sometimes. A) Forgive him because you probably look at him too that way and B) Tell him to cool it with the eye daggers—he knew you weren’t a minimalist when you moved in together.
Your relationship with your significant other can't handle the types of fights you and your sister used to have as kids, or you and your drunken roommate had in college.
It's all fun and games til the first argument.
Have you experienced any of these firsts cohabiting?
Fusing your life with somebody else’s will never be seamless, but it is manageable.
