Need your opinion... Does this wife owe him more?

Katy,
Sadly I have become an idealist; happily also a realist and because of my wife there is no conflict in these two. Shouldn't a marriage be a union without agreements? Can we replace the agreements with a joyful sharing? I guess I don't understand how the time they have shared so far is not the basis for an "agreement" to go on whatever they choose- if the relationship is healthy.
There is an O'Henry short story of a husband who sells his watch to buy combs for his wife, while she sells her hair to buy him a watch chain. Somehow these were still the perfect anniversary presents.
