What makes you think the OP's spouse is or will be female? The OP mentioned having a husband. And most husbands are male.
Indeed my husband is male. He likes chocolate more than me.
It's not
that important to be seated together, just preferable, especially for 13 hours. And we are newlyweds, so not that tired of each other.
In addition, I seldom finish my meals and seated next to me gives him extra food.
