Jan. 26 (UPI) -- A financial advice website is seeking a couple willing to test the strength of their bond by assembling IKEA furniture together for $1,000.
FinanceBuzz said it is searching for an "IKEA DIY Duo" who would be given $1,000 in IKEA store credit to purchase a bedroom set.
The couple would then be asked to assemble the furniture together and document the experience.
"FinanceBuzz is looking for a couple willing to put their relationship to the test this Valentine's season by building an entire IKEA bedroom set together and documenting the experience," the site said. "Just you and your significant other, a wordless instruction manual and a hex key."
The winning couple will be awarded $1,000 for completing the task.
Applications are being accepted on the website through Feb. 14.
If a marriage is stressed by assembly IKEA flat pack furniture the woman married a complete beta wimp she will end up divorcing. If a man can’t even use a torx key to make a bookshelf what else can’t he handle?
“Repair of Japanese motorcycle…”

I took the simple way out.
We know a retired guy who does handyman stuff for us occasionally. Just pay him to assemble stuff.
Now that’s really funny. Hopefully it’s not make of glued-together wood particles with a birch-like veneer.
Yeah, my hubs would have it done before the brownies are even out of the oven and wouldn’t even read the instructions.
Oh please! My crazy parents move every year and give their furniture away. Guess who they buy furniture from every year? Can’t count the number of times I’ve been called so I can check if the nearest Ikea has an item in stock before they make a 4 hour drive. Dad is in his 80s and still assembles their dressers, table, bed, etc by himself. Mom stands there like a squirrel supervising him.
