I was guilty of trying to love my W with my LLs (PT and QT). Love her the way she feels love is key. My W is a AOS girl as well so now I just jump in and do things to the best of ablility. I want to do these things because I understand what they mean to her. So it helps if I change my perpsective - even though we shouldn't mind read we all know our spouses pretty well and I try to anticipate what she will appreciate me doing. Sometimes me giving space is the best thing to do.
Sell the benefits of being married to Puppy. If you understand the need it makes your job a whole lot easier. When she tells you how to help, you just jump in with, "Oh, I can do that." So easy even a caveman can do it.
Cheers
