When I read your recent posts describing the many small, thoughtful gestures you are making it sounds to me like the acts of someone who is courting another....and from your description of W's responses it sounds as though she is noticing. The way that you care for her really comes through in your posts. It almost sounds as though you're falling in love with her all over again. The difference is that THIS time you know a lot more about what is required to make a M work.
I do feel like I'm courting her. I think she is noticing. I notice her tone of voice and interest in wanting to talk to me and ask me questions about nothing really. But that's the point. I think the substance of the conversation is irrelevant. She just wants to make that connection with me.

A few suggestions from a woman's perspective are carrying her bags, opening doors, treating her to a pedicure or massage at the hotel's spa, finding ways to allow her to relax and ease into the day by relieving her of some of her normal morning responsibilities.
I have always opened doors, carried her bags, etc. I was raised in the south by southern parents, so that was just what a man was taught to do. But, I get your point. I think I will take care of getting the kids ready in the morning. Maybe I can take care of breakfast (which I sually do on the weekends) so she can sleep in.
