Getting Your Partner to join Minimalism

Hi friends 🌸 A very common question is "How do I get my partner to join me on my decluttering and minimalist journey?".
My husband is (probably) more minimalist than me, but when we first met he was not quite so keen! Learning together about minimalism, clutter-free living and living with less has been so important for us to continue on this journey together. And that's what I'm covering in this video!
Thank you so much for watching 🌺

    I have a few videos on this topic on my channel, but my best tip is to stop shopping and adding stuff into your life, whilst slowly going through your possessions and considering what to declutter. :)

    Under one of your last videos I commented if you had any tips about minimalism in partnerships. And then, appropriately enough, a video comes along! Thank you! :)

    Thank you for this. I have realized this year that this is what I want in my life and in the process of going thru everything and decluttering. What a task it is ☺️ although in the end it will be worth it. Have a wonder week!

    Thank you for watching ☺ Yes, I think so too! It's a hard task, but once you know what all your belongings are, it makes life a lot easier!

    I really like the thoroughness of this as a 'how-to' for cooperative minimalist living. Very thoughtfully done, taking an ethical 'road less traveled by' for the betterment of us and our environment.

    Your videos have helped me so much. I struggled with so many things similar to you. One of them is am eating disorder. Could you maybe make a video how to overcome exercise addiction?

    😂 Honestly! Sometimes my partner and I are on a pretty tight budget. We're housesitting in this home and we were living in a van before that for a year. Obviously we're very fortunate in many ways, but you could say our economy has been very "efficient," partly our of choice and partly necessity.
