Necessities for couples living together?

A razor for his face and a razor for her legs.

1) A clear understanding of who pays for what, who bought what, and who owns what. 2) An agreement that NO assets will be jointly owned as long as you are unmarried. 3) An agreement that NO debts will be jointly taken on or bills in both names until marriage.4) An understanding that finances will be 100% completely and totally separate until marriage.

5) An understanding of who takes on what responsibilities in the household. 6) An agreed-upon time frame within which engagement and marriage will happen (or when the relationship will end if it doesn't), and that time period should be no greater than 3 years.In other words, you MUST keep personal and especially financial matters as separate as possible for as long as you are living together but unmarried. Trust me, a LOT of young people screw themselves over when they move in with a partner, buy furniture with them, open credit cards, buy a car, etc, and then break up afterward.

I've seen it happen, and it gets real ugly real fast. Since you and he are making the major life change of moving in together, but now you should have very thoroughly discussed marriage and your plans for the future. If you have not, or you're under the impression that moving in is the natural "next step," you are once again screwing yourself over.

Women tend to see moving in as a "next step" toward engagement, but men see it as the convenience of having a significant other nearby without having to get married first (read: companionship, help with chores, help with rent, regular sex). What VERY VERY OFTEN happens is that the couple moves in without making serious decisions about when they will marry, and before long the girl starts wondering when she's going to get a ring, but the guy is in no hurry what so ever, so the girl gets upset and issues an ultimatum, which puts the guy in the position of either breaking up with her or buying her a "shut up" engagement ring, and possibly eventually marrying her out of obligation and guilt rather than desire. So, yes, make sure you and your bf are on the same page as far as the marriage thing goes.

Decide BEFORE moving in either when you will seriously look into getting married, or agree that you and he are okay with living together unmarried indefinitely. Otherwise, you will learn from your mistake the hard way.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
