Excellent. We like to see these things because it tells us you're not just moping around the house asking yourself why your wife wants to leave you. (To which the answer often is, "because you're moping around the house asking yourself why your wife wants to leave you.")

Although it will help if the 180s are related to difficult parts of your relationship, 180's aren't about changing for the sake of the other person.

You have to do them for yourself, because if they're not then you won't keep them up if/when you see them "not working", which will just tell your wife that you're trying to manipulate her into staying. The point is to change the relationship by changing yourself; when she sees you're not the same person that she was unhappy with a month ago, that may make her stop.

Some good posts about 180's can be found here and here.
