Setting up a home together often takes more out a couple than any other task. This is mainly due to the fact that these are a lot of new adjustments that should be made in order for the couple to function and cohabitate in peace and harmony as much as possible.
The Basics
If space and finances permits, the personal space can still be accommodated but even there are should be some rules set and agreed upon regarding this space.
Often people tend to consider their own personal space, just that, and no one else has the right to dictate anything about this personal space. This of course is a fallacy the moment cohabitation comes into the equation.
Household basics should also include the sharing of all chores and upkeep of the living space. This is another very important area that should be given due consideration and in all probability the male counterpart is not really capable or interested in the upkeep of the living space and is quite happy to leave this area to the management of the female within the relationship.
The clear understanding that chores should be and is expected to be shared should be established very early on in the relationship to ensure there is no discontent arising from either party’s indifference.
Household basics should also cover the financial expenditure intending to be incurred by both parties. This is to ensure understanding and cooperation is the basis of the financial spending patterns within the relationship.
