Whether you're getting married or have decided to live in (gasp!) sin, the decision to cohabitate is one of the most nerve-wracking, potentially fight-provoking, all-around-scariest things you will do as a couple. Here are some pitfalls to avoid:
1. The Money-Saver Move-In: The recession is kicking everyone's ass, but if the major reasoning behind your decision to shack up is to save money, don't. Living together, while fun, is also hard work and you're going to need a big fat love connection when things get rough.
2. Romance Meets Finance: I know what you're thinking -- enough with the boring money talk! But it's imperative that you figure out how you're going to divvy up the bills before you sign on the dotted line.
3. The Love Nest: After you make the big decision, ideally, you two should find a place of your own. Because if one of you moves in with the other, you're going to have some territorial issues -- no matter how selfless you might believe yourself to be. Rents being what they are, I realize this isn't always practical.

I've lived with three of my exes and to be honest it really wasn't that big of a deal. I think it depends on the individuals and also the type of relationship you have. Obviously if you're a neat freak and he's a slob, you're going to have issues. But if you're both capable of communication and acting like adults when it comes to sorting out logistical stuff like bills and personal space, you'll be fine.
