When my husband and I got married last year, we combined his stuff, my stuff, my daughter's stuff, and assorted "stuff" friends and family gave us for our wedding.

So needless to say, our stuff is all over the place. When we got our place, we realized that we had more "stuff" than we actually needed. We sorted through together, and had to make some pretty hard choices on what was to keep, and what was to go.

His stuff:
I married a gamer, and that was what I had to accept was with the man of my dreams, was wires, games, and lots of time on the computer. Where to put it all? We made one room the "Gaming" room. This meant that if he kept all of his paraphenalia in one spot. We moved a loveseat into it so that we could also watch movies together.

Her stuff:
I collect stuff. It's mostly dishes and glassware from around the world, and endless amounts of kitchen gadgets. The meant that the dining room and kitchen were my rooms. I got to decorate how my tastes were, and my husband says as long as he's fed, it's good to him. (He can't cook)

Getting married, and living together is all about making a life together. Sometimes it means that you and he will give away somethings, gather somethings, and accept that your personal space is being shared instead of being invaded by someone else.

Remember that the interests that your future to be are still going to be there after you say I do, and happily ever after, means working together for a better future.
