Fighting Over Clutter? The Secret Couples Need to Know to Get Organized Together

by | Feb 16, 2017 | Features

The best way for spouses to declutter their home is to do it together. The first step is to get on the same page regarding your shared vision. Do you want a serene space just for the two of you? Or do you prefer a bright welcoming space to share with guests? Once you have your vision, respectfully discuss what stays and what goes. This won’t be easy. However, if you have this exchange while remaining respectful of each other, your home and your belongings, you will achieve your shared goal while establishing a sense of unity.

Key Takeaways:

  • How do I get my spouse to get more organized?
  • 48 percent of couples who live together say they argue over clutter, with seven percent arguing about it every day!
  • Concentrate on the vision you share for the life you want to live.

“The only way for there to be a happy peaceful situation when it comes to your house is not to concentrate on the stuff but, instead, to concentrate on the vision you share for the life you want to live.”
