Questions To Ask Your Partner Before Moving In Together

Deciding to move in together can be a big deal. There are a lot of factors to consider and discuss; your relationship, your finances, and what you want for your future all affect how living together could play out. Copperstate Moving has helped many couples, newlyweds, and families move since opening in 2009, so we have put together some questions and topics to talk about for couples moving in together. 

Questions to Ask Your Partner Before Moving in Together 

• Why are we doing this?
• When bad stuff has happened in the past, did we handle it as a team?
• How do our arguments usually pan out?
• What do we want for our future?
• What do we consider a successful relationship?
• Who will pay for what?
• How will we communicate about money in the future?
• Who will manage our bills?
• Do we want a joint bank account?
• What do I want?

Each of these questions represents aspects of your lives that you will need to talk about and make choices on together once you are living with your boyfriend or girlfriend or fiance. 

Relationship Questions

Moving in with a partner means you are ready to take your relationship to the next level. With that comes being able to ask and talk about the important questions surrounding your relationship. Questions like, “Why are we doing this?”, “How do our arguments usually pan out?”, and “What do we want for our future?” are all questions and topics that couples should talk about before moving in with each other. Making sure that your relationship goals and expectations align with one another will benefit a couple in the long run. 

Finance Questions

Talking about finances can be a touchy topic for some couples, one that can also be avoided until you start making decisions together, like when buying a house or moving in together. 

• Who will pay for what?
• How will we communicate about money in the future?
• Who will manage our bills?
• Do we want a joint bank account?

All the questions above will need to get answered before any plans are made, and papers are signed. Having a financial understanding of each other and what each of you brings into the home will alleviate some possible tension moving forward. Be open and honest about your financial responsibilities before and after moving in together. 

These questions aren’t the end all be all of the couples living with each other. They simply open up the door for these conversations to happen and for you to start learning and growing together.
