As the nursery rhyme goes: First come love, then comes marriage, has become the underlying spirit of all. Being committed in front of the law doesn't change the level of the commitment towards your loved one. At present world, many people just chant "I do" and prefer to move in together without a legal commitment. At many times money problems and unnecessary chaos results in destroying the romantic conception.
So, before moving in together there are many things you should keep in mind. To move in with your beloved, just don't be in a hurry, waiting for a few months and thinking about the situations that you will have to face later on won't hurt. Prior to the decision of moving in together you need to make sure that both of you are totally committed to each other and respect each other's decision. You are sure to head towards trouble and nothing else, if one of you think of moving in together as a step forward to marriage and the other does not.
The greatest factor that may create a lot of turmoil is the money factor. Before you shift in together you should make it clear about all the equal contribution you and your partner are going to make. Many times, relationships turns out to be sore because of money related conflicts. You are moving on to another stage of your life as you move in together. There is not a single living being who won't love to be with his or her loved one, within all the ups and downs of the life. The general maintenance that is required by both the partners within the shared living space often creates many uneven situations.
In the midst of all the uneven situations you should never forget the important reason for what you have moved on together, that's the love you and your partner share should never be forgotten. Try to remember in every step that it is love for which you committed to each other. Sometimes only to say "I love you" is not enough to know the intensity of love that you feel for your lover. In place of that you can convey your love and concern in many other ways. To work out with the relationship, give time to each other, go for a dinner date for a change, you can leave note for each other, go for shopping etc. and make your loved one feel that you do care about his of her feelings.
Marriage has a definite set of obligations and rights, but unmarried cohabitation doesn't have so. And that's the most important difference between the two and it often results in unpleasant surprises. If the above factors are taken care of, no such situation can ever damage your relationship with your mate. It is not necessary to write it down in a piece of paper and prove that you are committed if you truly by heart love your partner. In the long run, your relationship may encounter many ups and downs, but that's the fact of life and you have to embrace it the way it comes your way. As long as you have your dear ones, you can tackle whatever the circumstances might be.
