All great architectural works need strong foundations to sustain themselves and to transcend time and space. Starting to build a castle, a pyramid or a skyscraper is not a simple task, but every moment counts and all the effort ends up being rewarded. The first years of living with your partner are precisely the foundations of a solid and harmonious relationship, and, therefore, it is possible that the first year presents challenges, contradictions, ups and downs and also great achievements for the couple.

Before continuing to read this article, I recommend that you do not anticipate or predispose yourself: each couple is different from the others and each one will experience particular situations. There are many couples living together before getting married and reach marriage with a previously established lifestyle. Just to mention a few possible cases, there are couples who have been together as friends for a long time before committing, couples who have not lived or gone on a trip together or couples who move out of home or who undertake new relationship problems after moving in together. So, in essence, relationships change after moving in together.
