Have noisy sex with the bedroom door open.

Have a lot of sex.

Sleep naked.

Road trip, just the two of you!

Share a tent.

And yes, do home projects together.

All are tests and or things you won’t do as you get older, have babies, then teens in the house!

I will strongly recommend to my children that they live with someone for at least 6 months before marrying them.

We did all of that except share a tent since I have no interest in camping. We are now empty nesters and are back to having noisy sex with the bedroom door open. Yipee!
