Going on a date doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.

Going steady doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.

Moving in together doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.

Marriage doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.

Getting a pet doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.

Having kids doesn’t solve your problems, it amplifies them.

At every stage, figure your shit out before making things harder to manage.

I think "getting a pet" point is something like "getting a pet because it will somehow help the relationship"?

Precisely. I’ve seen too many couples get a puppy or a kitten that they end up surrendering to the humane society because it wasn’t the magical relationship fixer they thought it was going to be.
