"Doing things for your absent spouse in order to exact an action or reaction from them is manipulation. "

No. We do things not to "exact an action or reaction" we do this out of kindness and the unconditional love we have for our spouses.

Some people might do it for the reason stated previously but not all do that.

God teaches us to be kind and to love unconditionally, He does not teach us to turn the other way.
