It is a big step, especially when you get used to the luxury of living alone, but with enough forethought, I agree with verybadcat, it can be a natural and very pleasant progression... albeit with a few compromises here and there!

It won't be without some growing pains, and you'll give up some independence and autonomy, but you'll realize quickly that it's a small sacrifice to make and you can handle the compromise, or you'll realize just as quickly that you're not ready. I have a feeling it will be the former, because you're being realistic about the adjustment. Living with someone is a dance, and if you love each other, you'll find the right steps and perfect your rhythm without really realizing it. I'm independent and rather autonomous, and while it creates friction in my marriage sometimes, we work it out, because we're both of the mind that you have to have two whole people in a relationship. It will be wonderful, and yes, you will have freed up a lot of cash..... It’s a natural, everyday progression.
