If that's the best part of marriage, then your spouse can be replaced by a stick.
Scritches with love are infinitely better than scratches from a stick.
A flexible stick made of silicone
I beg to differ. The best part is they cannot be compelled to testify against you (and vice versa). (In the USA.)
(We didn't do anything, I just don't like being compelled.)
Youse can’t reach your back? I just scratch myself.
There are other things of I can do with my own hands but is somehow better when done by my spouse.
Washing dishes is the first thing that comes to mind. Foot rubs is another. I’m sure ill think of others
With the price of eggs, choking chickens is right out.
I'm over 50.
Get a butt scratcher.
I'm not allowed another wife.
That's what door frames are for. My wife is for chocolate mini cupcakes with almond buttercream. Among other things.
Wife just had me do that last night although truth be told Im the one asking for it more often.
Back scratches from my husband are like, the most amazing relaxing thing!
Of course this is a top post on a high furry populated social network.
Obviously there are other wins, but you know this is a big thing.
Nah, a door frame can do that. My wife has much more impressive capabilities.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
