If something is broken in the house, swiftly fix it or have it fixed without dragging her into it. Don't just let it sit there or wait for her to bring it up. Show you're in control of the situation and that you're not letting ANYTHING fall apart... the marriage, the roof, the faucet, etc. That is, unless she's the handy one in the house. If neither of you are handy, get help from a friend or a neighbor or hire someone.
