I get little funny video messages from my guy. And notes. And he walks my doggy. Cleans my car and motorcycle. Looks up stuff for me. Buys me a phone charger because I keep forgetting mine at home.
It's just been two months, so if he keeps the effort up for a while longer, that would be great.
Lately I've been leaving on the living room fire place when I leave for work. Shortly after I leave my wife gets up and kicks the little people out the door for school and once the dust settles on her morning she can curl up by the fire nice and warm.
I'll cook a meal for her if she is running late so she has something when she comes home.
She would do the same for me.
I will clean up after her occasionally if I happen to be on the way to the garbage anyways to save her the trip.
Again something she would do the same.
Very small things constantly that add up over time.
I never really think of them as doing somethig that furthers my realtionship status, I just do them becuase I know they will be appreciated and I know she would do the same for me.

Lol. ("The Pioneer Woman" calls hers the little "punks." )
Nice to be warm in the morning.

We have tandem parking here and it's a PITA (first-world problems) and my SO will switch the cars around by himself so I don't have to. He'll even offer to do it when we get home from somewhere and we're both there in the one car, but I'd be too ashamed to let him do it then, lol.

Same here - nothing specific. Things that I can recall -
Driving to the train station where he parks his car (with the little ones in my car - I left our car on and the heat on) - to dig out his car when we had a snow storm while he was at work so that he wouldn't have to spend the time doing it late at night when he got back to the train station.
Leaving a fake spider in places where he will find it to try to scare him. We go back and forth with this - it's one of our favorite things right now. We've never succeeded in scaring each other but it's fun to try!
I try to have a good meal waiting for him when he comes home every night.
Letting him sleep in while I take care of the kids or letting him take a nap when he has let me sleep in(we both do this for each other - it helps keep us happy!).
Mostly, I tell him that I love him and just try to take care of him the best I can so that he knows it's true.
Hint to guys: Cleaning our car thoroughly makes us VERY happy!
When we can afford to leave our current home for a better home, I'll happily clean both our cars. I'll spend at least one day off work to clean our cars no less than once a month. Gentle car soap wash and vacuum once a week. Gentle wax, clean all glass surfaces, apply protective material on headlight lenses to help prevent oxidation from sunlight, and interior detailing about once a month. I find doing this relaxing. Where we live currently, there is no covered parking and our parking pad isn't paved. Single car wash results in walking in soft mud. We take our cars to the car wash (either coil operated wand wash or drive thru wash). I do change our air filters, change wiper blades, and top off washer fluid.
