JAKARTA - Getting married and having a household is the dream of most people who have grown up. Being able to live with loved ones and start a small family from scratch certainly sounds like fun.

However, starting a household also requires a lot of special preparation, both mentally and physically. The reason is, every couple must be able to adapt to circumstances, status, or even a new place of residence that is totally different from the situation when they were single.

For young couples, here are 3 smart tips for adapting and starting a new life as a family:

Create a warm, familiar atmosphere in your new home. A newly married couple will start living together under one roof. They can live in a house that they both built together, or live in the house of one of their parents or in-laws. After living a dozen to decades at home, now a new couple must begin to adapt to a new environment that is very different. Not infrequently, feelings of homesickness or homesickness often appear in the early stages of adaptation.

One way you can overcome these feelings is to bring personal equipment or items that can make you feel at home, such as beds, sheets, decorative tables, night lights, and so on.

Smart for time to prepare household matters When you are married and have a household, your needs and affairs are different from when you were single. Now, you not only take care of yourself, but you also have to think about your partner's needs and other household matters.

It's natural that at the beginning of your marriage you are still adapting and looking for the best way to divide your time, energy, and thoughts. Starting from working, washing, cooking, cleaning the house, to repairing damaged parts of the house, it has now become the responsibility of you and your partner.

Keep intensive relationships with family and closest friends. Even though you're married, it doesn't mean your relationship with family and friends will be cut off. In fact, their support is really needed in the early phase of adapting to new life and routines as a married couple. Even though you can't get together and greet in person, you can still communicate via telephone, video calls, or sending favorite items and foods.

Interacting with people we care about can certainly help improve mood, keep mentally stable, and of course strengthen ties of friendship.

Seems complicated and tiring? Not really, today's technological advances bring many benefits to the people of Indonesia, including millennial couples who are just entering the early phase of having a family. Almost all household needs can now be met easily thanks to the presence of innovation.
