After they moved in together, it seemed that they started arguing about everything.
Though not about what most people would consider issues that were worth fighting over, like budgeting or household cleaning responsibilities - they readily agreed on adhering strictly to a budget, and the division of chores was solved when they agreed to just do everything that needs to be done as a team.
No, their arguments weren't caused by what most couples considered the big issues. They argued over small things, genuinely insignificant matters - a disinterested observer might get the impression that both of them appeared to actually look for small issues to fight about, and the smaller the better.
Just about anything seemed to be fair game, from how to make the bed to what side of the sink the dishes should be washed or rinsed in.
One would assume the sink dish washing issue would have ended once they bought a dishwasher, but the new dishwasher just led to a rather heated (and loud, much to the upstairs neighbors duress) argument about how to properly load the dishwasher.
The thing was, none of the arguments seemed to have any effect on their ardour for one another. Quite the contrary, after an hour or so of small arguments, they both would invariably (and suddenly) just shut down for a few minutes and take a few quiet, deep breaths, then impetuously (and with a vehement mutual passion) throw themselves at each other until they were disturbing the upstairs neighbors with noises of an entirely different nature.
