Kasey and I are very similar when it comes to decorating styles; less is more, and it has to be warm and inviting. Kasey LOVES to entertain our friends and family and I go along with it because I love her; I'm not very social except with a few close friends.
If we buy something new for the walls, we usually consult each other, and if we really HATE something the other likes we put it in our own "space". Mine is the kitchen and all my "gadgets", and hers is her office (she works from home) where her current system of filing papers includes piles all over her floor.
When we both worked away from home we shared the chores, but now that she is home she takes care of all the laundry, and some of the things I detest. I do all the food and household shopping as she really dislikes grocery stores.
We have our own bank accounts, but we have a common one for bills and such...I will never be in a place where I have to ask how to spend every penny I earn, and she is okay with that. We don't spend all we earn, and therefore never have money disagreements...lucky I guess.
We have been together 8 years and it works for us.
