They've been together for nearly a year, and after overcoming quite a great deal, Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) and Abigail (Kate Mansi) could take a huge new step in their relationship on Days of Our Lives.

Chad Tests Abigail's Loyalty To Ben

They began seeing one another shortly after his arrival in Salem, and despite their relationship initially being shrouded with secrecy (Ben did not reveal he was Jordan's brother immediately), the two continued to grow closer.

In addition to Ben's initial secrecy, the couple has dealt with Abigail's previously unresolved intimacy issues resulting from her affair with EJ, Ben's father Clyde (James Read) arriving in town, and Ben's legal problems after Chad (Billy Flynn) provoked him into committing assault. However, despite these issues, their relationship has only grown stronger, and Ben could try to make things even more official as a result.

Abigail Learns What Triggered Ben & Chad's Fight

If he does propose to Abigail and she accepts however, it could open the pair up to more obstacles being thrown in their way however. Chad, despite dating Jordan when he came back to town, has been trying to find a way to possibly reignite his former flame with Abigail. After learning she has chosen to possibly marry Ben, it could ignite a new need to scheme against Ben.

And though he previously worked to keep Ben out of jail and to have the charges against him dropped when he had him arrested, Chad's other schemes have partially proven to be successful. Though he won't be co-CEO of DiMera either, he did help get his father, Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) reinstated in the position, and had Kate (Lauren Koslow) thrown out, proving that when he puts his mind to a scheme, he can find a way to get at least some of the results he wants. If that is the case, and he turns even more on Ben and Abigail, the couple's engagement could be short-lived.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
