Do you make the bed? If not 180 and start making the bed if you are the last one to get up. It is a simple task, and your first accomplishment for the day. If she asks, hold eye contact,smile,simply rely "I like it this way", then head out to take care of other things.
Thank you! I have to thank everyone here that suggested to do it. That’s what gave me the confidence and courage to do it.
I do make the bed now. One of my good friends (1 1/2 years into repairing his M after his W had a PA) suggested it and I liked the idea. I posted this yesterday:

After a couple days, she started making it before I got out of the shower. I saw it and thought “aww, that’s cute!” and proceeded to tighten the sheets and comforter so tight my Marine Corps drill instructors would have been proud! She’s now thanking me every morning.
