So, you are moving in with your partner and you need our help to make it work? Well, you are in the right place! Our team of experts is more than happy to write a short guide for all people who are moving in with their partners. This is, basically, one of the most special experiences one can have – moving in with the person you love is both a big step for the relationship and for your life as well. Thus, for that reason, we have decided to write something you will both enjoy and find useful. Moreover, we will provide you with some special tips and tricks when relocation is concerned, so you will have a bit less to worry about! However, let us dive straight in our guide, shall we?

Moving in with your partner – two options you have

So, since you are moving in with your partner, you will definitely not do the relocation on your own. This is a big plus – most people think that relocation is hard only because they are doing it on their own. You can now split the most time-consuming relocation tasks with your partner and help each other out. However, you have two options to choose from still and you can find them below:

• Hire a moving company. This is arguably your best bet, no matter how many of you are doing the move. Professional movers are experts in moving and relocation and they can make sure that everything goes according to plan. Moreover, moving companies will always do good work out of your move, so do not hesitate to call them. This is good for two reasons – you will have more time to plan other things and you won’t have to worry about the relocation a lot. However, make sure that you pick the right moving company. In any case, you can always rely on Golan’s Moving and Storage to help you out for your move!
• Move in together alone. This might not be the best option for you, but it is easier than moving in alone. Having someone to move in with might prove as a good method of stress-relief. Moreover, it is always better to have two pairs of hands than only one pair. You can split the work with your significant one and you can also plan together. However, make sure to make a checklist for both of you and make sure to know exactly what to do and when. In most cases, you will figure it out without any issues. Moving to Illinois is not hard if you know how to do it.

Some things to keep in mind

The agreement is the most important part of moving in with your partner. Both parties need to be on equal grounds when relocation is concerned. Moreover, both parties need to know what to expect from each other and from relocation. There is a lot of planning ahead of you so make sure you are ready for your move. Things like how to handle moving into a smaller apartment or how to pack properly will pop-up from time to time. Make sure that your partner knows everything at any point during the move. This will help keep the move under control and it will help the general moving process. Never forget how important this actually is.

You will also need to think about proper packing supplies and materials. We cannot stress out how important having professional moving equipment is. There are many different uses for many moving items. You should have them in sufficient quantities, at least. There is nothing worse than running out of packing supplies on your moving day. Then it might be too late to get new ones and problems might occur. Thus, a good idea would be to purchase everything you will ever need from Amazon. Check what you already have and make sure to stock up on the things you will need for your relocation. This is not hard and it will mean a lot for your move.

Moving in with your partner – what to avoid?

Of course, there is nothing worse than not knowing what to avoid when you are moving in with your partner. In most cases, your relocation will go as planned, however, in order to make it so, you will need to avoid some things. For example, you should avoid everything from the following:

• Fighting with your partner. Nothing good will ever come out of fighting during your relocation. Relocating is hard on its own – it is pointless to add more stress and discord when everything that leads to that should be avoided at all costs. Moreover, you will also build stress, tension and you will probably lose communication. This is not acceptable.
• Not talking to your partner enough. Communication is the key to success in both relationships and in relocation. You need to let your partner know everything to the smallest detail in order to make sure that both of you are on the same page. Moreover, talk about issues concerning relocation. For example, talk about how to maximize storage space or to proceed with your move. This is always a good option, so never do the opposite!

Additional information – something you will most likely need for your move

In most cases, you will need additional storage space for your move. Why? Well, you never know if your belongings can fit your new place perfectly until you try to put them there. However, in some cases, the place might be smaller or there would not be enough foom for everything you brought. Thus, having additional storage space close to your new place of living is crucial for your move. Think about it and see if renting it would be good for your move.

Moving in with your partner – conclusion

Overall, moving in with your partner is slightly easier than moving in alone. However, you will need to avoid some things like fighting and focus on communication for your move a bit more. In any case, you can also hire a moving company to help you out. Everything works, really. Good luck!
