This is just an answer to one person's enquiry. I have read another which I cannot remember the name for. Buddha, with the help of ten directions, tells a layman to do his ten-fold duties. One of them is keeping his wife happy, another

Read Walpola Rahula's "What the Buddha Taught". You will know how far deviated incense burning and bowing to pictures are from Buddha's teaching. Buddhism is a very rational philosophy. If you study Buddhism in the light
