Bismillah,
These two ahadith show the closeness a man and a wife can share when it is time for prayer and our equality.
Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 1, Number 0078:
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:
My hands and the hands of the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) alternated into one vessel while we performed ablution.
Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 1, Number 0081:
Narrated Humayd al-Himyari:
Humayd al-Himyari reported: I met a person (among the Companion of Prophet) who remained in the company of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) for four years as AbuHurayrah remained in his company. He reported: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) forbade that the female should wash with the water left over by the male, and that the male should wash with the left-over of the female.
The version of Musaddad adds: "That they both take the handful of water together."
