"together" is more than i expected

It has been two weeks since wedding day, and it's interesting to see the interactions we prepared for finally coming to light. An obvious example: During the ceremony we both read off a pre-vow speech, highlighting our excitement over the upcoming marriage and declaring some of the things we were looking forward to. I made this statement:

I look forward to the things we now can share: our home, our bed, our checkbook, and, if I sometimes have need, your toothbrush.

Of course, everyone laughed at the silliness of it, knowing we were sure to have many interactions that two people usually don't have, but realizing a toothbrush is typically off limits. The words were apparently prophetic though, as within 7 hours I had to use my wife's toothbrush!! Talk about starting a relationship off by sharing everything!

it makes you wonder what all couples share, and how many of those things are different from what they expected to share before they were married.

remote control -- yes
tube socks -- no
spoon from bowl of ice cream -- ??

I've shared my husbands tube socks. Just not when he was wearing them. I've even shared my dresses with my man when he needed a halloween costume. I was mad that the dress fit him and that he looked better in it than I did! (He had a little help with some tube socks. They're not just for feet any more!)

You do know that you can usually get a toothbush from the hotel you are staying in. And of course the maids always have plenty of bushes on their cart. You know the big ones with the long handles.
