1. Establishing a strong emotional connection. You feel comfortable with each other, can be open and honest. You discuss your feelings and needs, resolving conflicts constructively.

2. Getting to know each other in different situations. You have spent enough time together to understand how your partner behaves in stressful situations, on holidays, in everyday life, etc. There were times when you stayed overnight at each other's houses or spent a few days together to see the everyday side of the relationship.

3. Discussing goals and expectations. You discussed your long-term goals: how you see the future, family, career, and the compatibility of your values. You talked about financial issues: budget, expenses, habits, debts.

4. Testing compatibility in everyday life. If you have already spent some time together in the same space (for example, short vacations or living together for a few weeks), this has helped to understand your habits and lifestyle. You have similar views on order, comfort, and division of responsibilities.
5. Willingness to compromise. You realize that living together requires concessions and are ready for this. You understand possible difficulties, such as less freedom, the need to coordinate plans.
6. Financial and household preparation. You have a clear idea of ​​​​how expenses and responsibilities around the house will be divided. You are prepared for the fact that the household side may not always be romantic.
7. Seriousness of the relationship. You see the relationship as long-term and serious. You do not use cohabitation to "save" or "fix" the relationship.
Before making a decision, discuss all the important aspects of living together. This will not only strengthen your relationship, but also help avoid unexpected problems.
