When adults move into one home, it can mean a lot of doubling up on things. The odds are that you both had kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms before the move . . . but there's no room for two tables, two couches, and two beds! A good rule of thumb is to start from scratch, donating your old stuff and shopping for new pieces. However, because that's not always a possibility, try to sacrifice equally. Keep one partner's bed, the other's couch, and so on. Unless one of you has objectively better stuff (like a leather Restoration Hardware couch vs. a stained Ikea love seat), it shouldn't fall on one person's shoulders to sacrifice all of their treasured pieces.
The solution: Sacrifice equally.
