Your spouse will make you a lunch every morning, like every other. Depending on how many hearts they have, the quality of the lunch will change. Your spouse can also help you with chores around your farm, which include fishing, mining, watering, harvesting, picking weeds, milking, brushing, and egg/silk collecting. Your spouse's personality depends on what chores they'll be better at. You must select a chore to do in between 6 and 7AM, or else your spouse will go out on their own during the day.
You can take your spouse for a walk. This is a way to spend time with your spouse, and their heart points will increase from it. Gale's birthday is unknown, so you don't have to worry about remembering! Gale may still return to his home in Harmonica Town from time to time, but he will always return in the evening.
