What's one thing you do for your spouse that shows how well you know them?
What's something your spouse does for you that makes you feel known and seen?

She panders to my idiosyncrasies (for example: my clothes must be dried outside all year round).

Not an option where I live!

Vegemite toast!

This would freak an American’s tastebuds out.

This American loves it. First had it at age 30ish at, of all places, and Easter brunch pot luck.

I could buy it in Texas, but not here. I may have to go order some from Amazon.

ETA: Or not – almost $3 an ounce! Marmite half that, but still.

Physical touch or showing affection.... that's something I had to learn and be intentional in doing.

He listens to me and understands me like few do. In that, he is supportive and encouraging.

I grew up with Marmite. Vegemite is a bit salty! Perhaps that’s why I like it. even in Australia it’s not very cheap but it lasts and lasts. Cost of living!! You don’t spread it thickly so of course it will last.

How come? No garden or permanent rain?
