About daily life with a cave-dwelling monster, as noted earlier, it would depend on the individual case. It's noted monsters living in the wilderness don't normally have jobs, but there are still things to do and their husband could join them in such activities. Hunting/foraging for food, patrolling territory, trading with neighbors, passing along local tales and gossip, that sort of thing.

Regarding fire, it has to do with the energy fueling it. Since the fire produced by monsters like salamanders on their bodies is fueled by mamono mana, it acts according to desire. Thus unless a monster wants to cause damage with it, it won't burn the way a non-magical fire would. Mechanically there may be similarities with the "magic flame candlestick" item. This is useful as the monster doesn't have to worry about accidentally burning down her home or ruining the bed if she gets excited.
