@indacity i am sorry to hear that you and your wife are going through this. I am going through some rough times with my wife as well. There have been a lot of things that I have read on here and other relationship repair posts that have opened my eyes.

Doing chores may seem like more to be added to your plate if you work so much and don't have time for "fun activities" but you are a married adult, so maybe helping your wife with chores and being her partner that she needs in your home will be a good start. Don't look at it as work to be done, but instead as an activity you and your wife can do together. Working together can get things done faster than just one person doing it. If she is asking of you, be there for her.

Flowers and candy are nice to recieve once and a while, but they are not going to fix things in your marriage. Talk with your wife about how you feel, be patient with her and your self. There is no easy fix, sadly. It will take time and a lot of effort from both of you if you both agree to work through your problems.

If you are having money problems then maybe you and your wife can sit down and get a budget planned out so you can see where money is being wasted. I hope you can find more help if you need it, but here is a site that gave me some good pointers and hope for me and my wife. Hope it can help you too.
