    Yeah I’ve noticed at least a lot from my high-school group that dating for about 4 years is a good amount of time, me personally and a lot of close friends seemed to have hit their hardships in a relationship around that 4 year mark. Also moving is a good test about how you do in stress haha

      Been married for 10 years now. There’s one thing I’ve found to be the ultimate relationship tester:

      Furniture Assembly.

      If you can survive assembling a few pieces of IKEA puzzles together it’s probably going to last XD

        Our way of surviving furniture assembly is for him to Go Away And Let Me Do It, because I can follow directions and he just tries to slap things together without looking xD

        I love my husband! Knowing when to just let the other person get on with shit is a pretty good litmus test, I agree, lol.

          Maybe it’s bad luck, but half the time the instructions are physically impossible to follow on certain steps.

          My wife and I have put many IKEA pieces together over the years, and she got her license at age 24 after I taught her to drive stick. We’ve been together 24 years, this coming Friday.

        She leaves me to furniture assembly thankfully.

        The ultimate relationship tester is: moving house

        Either that or camping setup
