Hopefully you and your significant other express gratitude for each other all the time. While saying “thanks for loving me” and “thanks for always being there” are great starts, there are tons of little, everyday things that your loved one would really appreciate the appreciation for. Here are a few more specific ‘thank yous’ for all the little things that add up and mean a lot.
