An initial air of distance between the couple is hinted as Proctor tells Elizabeth that he only intends to "please" her however she accepts his motion rather than embracing it, "I know it, John." It is evident that there is a strong love between the two of them, which is depicted through the way Elizabeth "took great care" in preparing the "rabbit" for her husband and was annoyed with herself for having forgotten to give him the "cider."  Proctor knows that their relationship is flawed and blemished yet he tries to rectify this by showing how he means to "walk the farm together" and spend time in the company of his wife.

In the subsequent conversation between John and Elizabeth there is definitely a sense of divergence between the two of them, as she interrogates him as to why she came home "so late."
