What does moving in together mean?

This entry describes moving in together as the practical step of sharing one home, including whose lease or deed, whose furniture, and what each person gives up by leaving the old address. It notes that the move itself does not decide whether the two people are exclusive, engaged, or on the way to a wedding.

What this entry does not do

It does not replace the entry on living together before marriage, and it does not say a couple should or should not share a home.
