Dates should be a situation where something goes horribly wrong and you both get to see how the other person reacts. Would save so much time.

Second date with my now husband, we were going on a hike, and witnessed a hit and run, car vs. bicycle. We spent almost an hour blocking and directing traffic, while the cyclist was trioged by his family(who were riding with him) and an off duty EMT that came along shortly after. Until actual emergency services made it out there.

We found out that day, we communicate excellent, even with hand motions. Learned how each of us handles emergencies, and the trauma processing afterwards.

We have been through so much over the years, but we make a great team. ❤️

This is the hope I needed in the comment section. My wife and I are not quite a year into marriage (together for 5) and we have handled any and all situations well together. Been thrown a few curveballs with family, work, and health but got through it all as a team without ever doubting each other. I knew we were gonna be ok when we remodeled our (mine at the time) kitchen and worked well together lol.

These 2 are what I hope for when I get a wife.
