Glad to hear that your D is back from the hospital. About the LL, has your wife read the book? Maybe if you want your wife to discuss it with you, you could first start discussing with your wife about D's LL? Get her to read the LL for children book first before the discussing yours and hers LL.
About giving gifts to your w, its not about what to get so much as the thought that you put into gettting the gift itself. Although receiving gifts is not one of my LL, I was very touched when H did gave me these gifts.
- His female colleagues went shopping for some on sale costume jewellery and he tagged along and got something for me. I thought that was sweet. - He noticed that something I was using (for example my hairband was old/broken) and got a new one for me. - He bought shoes for me on his own. I was amazed he even knew my shoe size!
The gifts need not be expensive at all but its really the thought put into getting them that counts. Remember that and start noticing your wife a little more.
