Oh, I love little gestures -- I just think they should be ones that GARRY does proactively. Not in response to his wife's pouty honey-do requests. Just showing up with a pint of her favorite ice cream, or her favorite mocha from Starbucks or something is GREAT. I just want him to start learning to ACT, and not REact -- especially if it's reacting to a request of hers to "rescue" her from some dilemna, large or small, that goes to the heart of her waywardness. I think she needs to feel some of that stuff.
