| THE NEWLYWEDS Combining Households
TIPS FOR NEWLYWEDS
by Evelyn Pothier


To throw or Not to throw!

If you are the kind of person or your new spouse is that never cleans out anything or keeps everything for years 'just in case,' then here are some tips from author Barbara Tako who use to do the same thing until she saw how organized her 'Mrs. Clean' mother-in-law always had time for her family and friends. Tako then decided to write a book that would help people reclaim their lives. She is also a guest speaker for many major corporations that realize that an unorganized and cluttered worker is rarely as productive as an organized one.

If 'just in case' never comes:
Author Barbara Tako has sent Weddings & Honeymoons tips for people getting married and combining households for clutter clearing and home organizing especially for those who keep everything for years 'just in case.'
 

When merging households as well as lives, consider the following:
1. This is going to be a combined shared space, so be flexible and gentle with each other. This is a major change in living quarters for both of you.

2. In the kitchen and other utility areas, keep in mind you don't need two of things. There is no point to two can openers, skillets. You will enjoy your joint space together more if it isn't overcrowded.

3. When making decisions, work together and pick the best utility item and donate or sell the other one.

4. If you are talking about furniture, again, you have the luxury of picking the nicer pieces, however, your new place should feel like home to both of you. Another option is to let certain rooms reflect each of you. His bedroom furniture, your living room furniture...

5. If you like to shop for household things together, consider selling what each of you currently has and making a fresh start. It could be new furniture or it could be used furniture that will be new to both of you.
