Page Numbering and Layout Issue in Book Formatting

[Mateomono]

Hi,

I am working on a book. Before the first chapter, I have an imprint and a table of contents. In these two sections, I don’t want any page numbering.

When I set the first chapter to start at page one, for some reason they dont stay togheter.  There should be two pages next to each other, not one on its own. Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

It makes sense for it to be set up like this, if this is the first page of the book, but the issue is that it's not. As mentioned before, this chapter follows two additional sections (Table of Contents and Imprint).
