Can be anything from cooking, doing laundry, watching a tv show you are not interested in, getting up to get him/her a drink, sex, whatever. You can name the things or not, up to you.
Is it twice a day, 3 times a week, 5 times a month?

I do things for my husband multiple times a day. It isn’t necessarily that I don’t feel like doing it, that just depends on my mood. I’m not sure how often I “don’t feel like” grabbing him a drink from the kitchen or washing a load of towels. As far as little favors and doing things just to do nice things for him, it is definitely daily.
I make my husband’s lunch every morning at 5AM. I am not a morning person and can say that there are some mornings I don’t feel like doing it. I do it out of love though, not obligation. The only thing that he occasionally asks me to do that I don’t want to do is to pick up chewing tobacco for him. It is such a gross habit, but it’s the only real vice that he has.
All the frakkin’ time. At least he knows how lucky he is :)
Every day.
we’re married after all.
Seems like every day—more so on weekends. The “Honey-do” list seems to metastasize on weekends. I was actually thinking about this today. She always asks me for help on her tasks, but I never ask her for help on mine. She says it’s stress that keeps her from being able to her stuff. I don’t know what would happen if I had to be a single father or she a single mother. We sure wouldn’t be doing nearly as well as we are.
Once in a while, there’ll be a football game on that he’ll really want to watch and I’ll be in the same room…I guess that’s it.
Very rarely. I think the worst thing I do is cook lamb two or three times a month. I hate lamb, but I can eat it with mint and apples.
Not often at all. I sometimes do things that I wouldn’t personally choose to do, going to an electrical appliance shop for example, but I never feel like I don’t want to be doing it because I enjoy being with him. As far as little things like getting him a drink or watching one of his tv shows, again, I don’t mind doing them for him (he does the same for me enough) and so I never feel like I don’t want to do it. It’s not an issue for me to do things for/with him that I wouldn’t necessarily do without him. However, on the flip side, he came to see Burlesque with me the other day, I’m sure he didn’t feel like doing that but he didn’t complain once!
Many times a day. I do what I can to help and make things easier.
I feel like being helpful, and like we’re a team that does things for one another, so not really often. I guess sometime there are some dance shows that I sit through, though I do other things and get a kick out of making fun of them somewhat, so I think it all balances out.
