Minimalists and Pack Rats Can Live in Harmony! Organizational Tips for Couples at Odds

Remember you’re a team and focus on the present to move forward. Give your partner a space he/she can use behind closed doors that doesn’t cross into your shared space. Come to agreements about what neat and clean look like in your home. And set parameters for when purging can happen.
