    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
