5 tips for married men to help with their struggling marriage

Judgment free zone here. You do not have to self-identify.
I've seen a good number of posts recently (and throughout a quick search of TD OT history) that indicate that many married men in here, myself excluded, are struggling to find relations once again with their wife. The battle cry I often read is that "it's gone."
Stresses of work, different priorities, after school activities, a male co-worker, Chad (and not our Chad504), who suddenly best friend's with your wife, weight gain or bellying up to the bar at Hooters can all wreak havoc on getting her engine up and running for you.
Here are 5 tips that, based upon my intensive research have helped even the most stressful marriage on the brink of divorce to being love birds again, even going so far as to tearing and shredding up the pre-nup.
1. Helping with housework without being asked is as romantic as bringing her flowers.
2."Little gestures” create a loving atmosphere.
3. Tender words and gentle hugs without sexual overtures are vital.
4. Letting her know she’s more important than everything makes her feel special.
5. Talking and sharing are crucial to a lively relationship.
Change starts from within and it starts with you. Nothing changes if nothing changes.
These 5 little tips have allowed my relationship to go from this:

Don't forget about Grindr!
We don't want to be accused of discriminatory practices on the OT.

Inb4 all the divorced baws come in here, call you beta, and talk about how shitty their ex wives were even though they got complacent, gained 50 lbs, and wanted to hunt and golf all weekend every weekend.

Even with only 10 posts, we're here for you. This is the place.
Ask away. You can stay anonymous.

Well, uh I guess I, deep down, am feeling a little confused. I mean, suddenly, you get married, and you're supposed to be this entirely different guy. I don't feel different. I mean, take yesterday for example. We were out at the Olive Garden for dinner, which was lovely. And, uh, I happen to look over at a certain point during the meal and see a waitress taking an order, and I found myself wondering what color her underpants might be. Her panties. Uh, odds are they are probably basic white, cotton, underpants. But I sort of think, well, maybe they're silk panties, maybe it's a thong. Maybe it's something really cool that I don't even know about.

What if, when your wife kisses your cheek, you feel Him?
