My wife and I share a shower, since it steams up the bathroom less and and uses less hot water when two people shower in only slightly more time than one. This started out as her idea, back when we lived in a house that had a 30-gal water heater that only barely worked. Eventually I replaced the heater, but the shower habit has never changed. She also insisted I install a water saver shower head when we moved to this new house. We installed a woodstove since the fuel for it is usually free on the side of the road; she cuts wood too. She holds parts and hands me tools when I install yet another ceiling fan. "It's cheaper than air conditioning. Is this ceiling high enough for one?"

I taught her the rudiments of hypermiling and immediately the car's average jumped by about 3mpg.

Sorry guys, my highly significant other, my much better half, runs counter to the cliche.

I guess in this, like all things, your missus may vary!
