You don’t need to get shipwrecked to find out if you and your partner can handle a crisis. But it helps to remember that every relationship has its “honeymoon island” moment. It might be a flat tyre on a rainy motorway, or a kitchen renovation that goes wrong for six months. The point is, if you can still look at each other and crack a joke, you’re probably fine.
And if your partner ever suggests a remote island getaway, just check the tide schedule. Twice. Because the couples who are still together? They didn’t just survive the storm—they came back with stories that make their mates jealous. And they probably still hold hands while telling them.
So here’s to the stranded, the sandy, and the stubbornly romantic. May your next drama be small, your snacks plentiful, and your shared laughter louder than the wind.
