What This Analysis Covers

The Cohabitation Readiness assessment evaluates whether you and your partner are consciously choosing to live together with clear mutual expectations or "sliding" into cohabitation by convenience — a pattern research links to significantly higher relationship dissolution. We analyze financial arrangement clarity, household role expectations, personal space boundaries, guest and family policies, and exit-plan awareness. Moving in together should be a deliberate decision, not a default.
