Two answers that I know are correct but can't make sense of:

13 across: His uncles speaking frankly bolster his wife.
Answer: DUTCHMAN

23 Down: The best for you: result of six of them.
Answer: WEAL

Six of the best usually results in a weal.

Thanks, that phrase - "six of the best" - was the missing piece I never thought of.

Not totally convinced but
a Dutch uncle is one who speaks frankly and
Dutch (my old dutch) can mean a wife and Man can mean to support or bolster
