Getting married soon and we don't know how to combine our household belongings. We need ideas!?

When my husband and I first married we split the rooms. We kept my bedroom furniture, his living room furniture, combined the kitchen (figured out which pots were better)... and did a yard sale. Kept my dining room table (I'll admit it took me a couple of years to get him to see that we didn't have the space for his).

Figure out what stuff is really important to you and be willing to give on the rest (this goes for both of you).

Who's furniture will last the longest? Keep that. Otherwise just put stuff in storage until you can make a decision.

The reality is -- welcome to marriage. It's a journey of give and take. Maybe use all your furnitre in certain rooms and let him use all his furniture in other rooms. That way you both still have some of your stuff.

Otherwise, just get rid of everything and start all over :)

I sold and gave away my furniture when I moved in with my husband, but then again I don't really get emotionally attached to my furniture, so it was an easy decision. If you both have items you have attachments to, you have to decide on a case-by-case basis.

Until you decide what to keep, and what to sell, get a storage unit and hold some things there until you decide. Insist on moving some of your things in because you need continuity, too!

you both should compromise but you also should sit down together and go through your stuff and his stuff decide what you really want to keep and what you can live with out. you both need to do this and dont just get rid of something just to make him happy...

Prioritize - what works best

Then have a giant yard sale and buy something special

if neither of you want to part with your stuff have you thought about getting a storage unit? that way it will give you both time to what stays and what you can live without.

get a interior decorator to go thru the whole lot and have them combine all of it and sell the rest

stash your stuff away in a rented storage.

you're gonna need the stuff back after the divorce.

you think it's crazy to combine the stuff together? wait till you have to separate the stuff.
