Didn't for me.

Null,
Send you wife an online copy of “The Wifely Duty” by Caitlin Flanagan, published in Atlantic Monthly a few years ago, and available online at:

It’s both a humorous and serious look at the disconnect between men and their wives and, surprisingly, takes the man’s perspective.
It turned around my relationship with my wife. I’ll tell you more details in private mail if you wish. Suffice it to say that the deal-closing line with my better half was when I told her, “I married you forever but if you want me to be less grumpy in middle age and later, you might ...”
Another tip to you, instead of flowers, might be to do the dishes. Tell her (truthfully) why. Dobson said that “sex begins in the kitchen.”
Cheers and good luck.
My empathy. Been there done that.
