These somewhat “random reasons” were listed just as they came to mind and will probably disappoint many because they are not flowery, romantic sounding things. I'm sure they wouldn't be at the top of a "match.com" list---but these are the kinds of things that are at the top of mine. Maybe you married folks, will recognize little gestures or similar things in your own relationship that you have taken for granted. Now maybe you can see them in a new light and be thankful for them.
