As one writer from The Frisky mentioned, furniture shopping can be the beginning of a relationship's demise. Sharing furniture can be problematic, when personal belongings become "ours" and not "mine." A blended, compromised style will be confusing, please no one and can foster resentment for years. One married couple literally blamed their varying home décor tastes as a basis for separation. The husband said that he just wasn't into his wife's Victorian-style décor, and the wife resented him since he agreed with the décor in the beginning of their relationship. Co-habitating can shine light on the couples' differences, and help them decide if it's worth reconciling their differences before they get married.
