Husband's motivation
Being a guy, I have to suspect two motives:
1. "Survivor guilt" over being retired while you're not, or some other past guilt for which he still feels indebted. Either is expiated by the penance of getting up early, braving rush hour, cooking, etc.
2. ER is sweeter when you can get up early, fight the traffic, wave bye-bye to your hardworking spouse, and then go back to bed!
Well, yeah, it could be that love & fidelity & support stuff too, I guess. And maybe, like TH, he just enjoys cooking...
