Answer
We don't think using the term "duty" as you used it in your question truly reflects the interaction that you seem to be wanting from your husband.It appears that you are trying to change your husband by getting him to read more and to be more attentive to everyday happenings and then to share those thoughts and insights with you.
Bottom line, you can't change him. If he isn't the type to want to read, or share, then he isn't going to do that, even if you put the book in front of him on a daily basis.
Have you shared your own thoughts about something you read or heard on television with your husband and asked him what he thinks or feels about it? Sometimes, a person's interest in a particular issue or topic can be heightened by discussion with someone who has already read up on that issue/topic.
Another approach would be to attend a Marriage Encounter weekend. The focus is on teaching couples to share their feelings with one another.
You could also ask your husband to write to you daily using our daily dialogue questions.
