The paragraph on the website talking about 'more than five years' is telling you that IF that is the case, the ex-pat's partner may be able to get PR straight away. As I understand it, you're just applying for partner-sponsored Residence at the moment.
Here are old threads with discussion and examples of the evidence needed.

https://www.enz.org/forum/showthread...560#post576560 is a recent post - the last paragraph tells what this person did for the timeline of their relationship.
On top of that, for each application, I've also done a separate timline with photos that I've arranged in Word in chronological order and safed as a pdf. I've tried to include lots of photos of us in different locations (traveling to china, running half marathon) and with as many different people as possible (friends, family etc.). Tried to do at least a photo a month.
Also, good idea to create a list and organise evidence in different categories and have a few for each ot the categories.
Comething like this:
Finances (statements, insurance, utility bills etc)
Living arrangment (contract, letters from landlod, other),
communication between each other (facebook, watsapp, txts, calls),
Public recognition (letters from fam & friends, invintations, photos, timeline)
Other correspondence (tickets, boarding passes, any mail you to get together or separately to the same adress)
Hope this helps.
