Moving in together is one of the biggest practical steps a couple takes, and one of the least planned. Most couples spend more time choosing a sofa than deciding how they’ll split rent, who cleans the bathroom, or what happens when one wants a quiet night and the other invites friends over.

Co-Living Harmony Protocol replaces guesswork with a system: the conversations to have before the boxes are packed, clear options for combining money, a plain-English overview of the legal side, a method for merging two households, a fair way to divide the work of running a home (including the invisible planning work), and word-for-word scripts for the disagreements every couple has.

What’s inside

• The 5-stage SHARE Method: Set expectations, Handle money and paperwork, Arrange the space, Rebalance the load, Engage every week.
• The before-you-move conversations: nine topics that cause most early friction, with the exact questions to ask about each.
• Money systems and split calculator: joint, separate or “yours, mine and ours,” and how to compare an equal split with a proportional one.
• Chore inventory and division method: a full list of household tasks, including the mental load, and a way to divide them by time and preference.
• Conversation script library: word-for-word openers for money, chores, space, guests, sleep, repair and taking a break.
• 8 printable worksheets: conversation map, money calculator, shared budget, paperwork checklist, merge plan, chore division, house agreement and weekly check-in.

Who it’s for

Couples planning to move in together, couples who recently did, and couples who already live together but keep having the same arguments about money, mess or space. Works for married and unmarried couples.

Time required

About 4 to 6 hours together, spread over the 4 to 8 weeks before and after the move, then a 30-minute check-in once a week.
