So you just moved in with your significant other. Everything is loooking great, and you're optimistic about this new chapter in your life, but there’s just one thing standing between you and your bright future together: unbuilt IKEA furniture. You’ve never had couple’s therapy quite like this before.
Here are 15 things you are bound to experience when building IKEA furniture together.
1. Excitement
Your house is finally going to be a home!
2. Motivation
Together, you stand. 
3. Disagreement
It starts small, like when one of you wants to read the instructions and the other does not.
4. Determination
Regardless, you’re determined to make this a pleasant experience and fighting is not an option.
5. Will Power
The screws are stripping and the legs of your cheap table are not lining up, but you’re going to get through this.
6. Irritation
First from the furniture, then from your partner. WHY ARE THEY IN THE KITCHEN DRINKING A BEER AND I’M OVER HERE SWEATING MY ASS OFF?!
7. Confusion
WHY. DOESN’T. THIS. FIT?!
9. Frustration
Neither of you can translate the hieroglyphics on the instructions, and now things start to go hay-wire.
8. Aggravation
The wrath quickly turns from you partner to the piece of furniture.
10. Rebellion
You start hammering/screwing/twisting/tightening shit you think makes sense.
11. Faith
Apart from the numerous extra screws, nails, and boards, your new furniture is kind of starting to look good!!
12. Optimism
You flip it over, and it somehow stands.
13. Hope
OMG, your makeshift building methods kind of worked, and it actually looks good!
14. Achievement
WE DID IT!
15. Sex
Even if it's hate sex, it still counts.
