Michelle Obama has stirred the pot with her recent advice on relationships, revealing her belief that couples should take their time before moving in together. On her podcast “IMO” with brother Craig Robinson, she stresses the importance of getting to know each other well before diving into the shared space of a home. After all, love is a journey, not just a destination, right?

Michelle’s take on this age-old question is based on her own relationship with former President Barack Obama. They were engaged two years after their first date, highlighting her emphasis on the value of patience and understanding in a partnership. It’s all about ensuring that you and your partner are a good fit—because once you’re living together, there’s no escape from their sock collection!

The bottom line? Don’t rush things in love! Sometimes, it’s the slower dance that leads to the best results. So, will listeners heed her advice, or are they bound to play their own version of“are we ready for cohabitation”? Either way, her message is a thought-provoking reminder that it’s okay to take things slowly in the name of love.
