CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESSWIRE / February 8, 2022 / With Valentine's Day approaching, ApartmentAdvisor.com, an online apartment search platform, today released new research exploring the ins and outs of moving in with a romantic partner. The company surveyed 1,002 unmarried Americans currently living with their significant other to uncover insights into how couples manage the practical aspects of living together and how cohabitation impacts their relationships.
Key findings:
- Couples that date for a year or more before moving in together are more likely to be highly satisfied with their relationship.
- Splitting the rent evenly and equal distribution of household chores drive happier couple cohabitation (although equality in most chores is not the norm).
- Cramped quarters cramp relationships: people sharing small living spaces are more likely to be dissatisfied with their relationship.
- Couples that cohabitate tend to argue more since moving in together, but they also have more sex.
- Messiness and spending habits are among the most common complaints about live-in romantic partners.
- Eighty-seven percent (87%) of respondents believe that living together before tying the knot gives couples a better chance at a successful marriage.
"Moving in with your significant other is a big decision," said Tom Gilmore, co-founder and CEO at ApartmentAdvisor.com. "The ApartmentAdvisor Moving In Together Survey offers insights into what couples can expect once they make this milestone move together, as well as the best practices for happy cohabitation."
Couples searching for an apartment can use ApartmentAdvisor to find the right place in the right location.
