Why do we want it?
No matter who asked the “let’s move in” question, but make sure you both on the same page in the relationship. Be sure you are moving together for love and not for lust. Sharing one house and room with someone who loves you is beautiful. But if the reasons are not the same it can be a torture.

Who will do what?
