Appreciation that is "implied" often picks up the adjectives "insignificant" and eventually "invisible."
Your significant other often shows appreciation/affection in a certain way because, subconsciously, (s)he would like to see those two things given in a similar way.
This doesn't mean you have to (or even should) change your entire game plan. Most of the time, show affection as comes natural to you. But from time to time, if (s)he leaves you little notes on the counter, do the same. Or cooks for you. Or tweets some sappy nonsense first. Or gets you a gift just because it's Friday.
It is on both parties to keep the love blossoming. When is the last time you have seem an "implied," "invisible," or "insignificant" rose that you could also classify as "fresh?" In all actuality those roses are not invisible. They do exist. Very often they do so in the confines of a landfill.
Don't let your love end up there. Don't let your appreciation fall victim to implication, insignificance, and invisibility.
My first football coach said it best: "Doing the little things will take care of the big things."
