He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to race with his wives:

‘Aa’ishah narrated: “While I was on a journey along with the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, and I had not gained weight yet. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to the people: “Proceed [ahead of us]”, so they did and then he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to me: “Come so that I would race with you.” We did, and I outstripped him on my feet. He left me for some time, and then when I became fleshy (gained weight) and forgot about this race, and was with him on a journey, he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to
the people: “Proceed [ahead of us]”, so they did and then he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to me, “Come so that I would race with you.” We did, and he outstripped me. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, started to laugh and said: “This is for that.”

your winning the first race, so it is one for one. Despite the overwhelming responsibilities he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, had, yet he made time to entertain his wives and attend to their needs and do things (like the race) to bring joy to their hearts.

Nowadays, many men feel embarrassed to do things like this with their wives, even if they were in an open desert.
