I tried to do this as well; I call them simple "acts of kindness" or "acts of love." I'd do things like pull my wife's car in the garage for her at night (she hates going out there when it's cold, dark and spooky!), or cover her with a blanket when she'd fall asleep on the couch (and I would gently kiss her forehead). Clean the cats' litter boxes (normally her job, and she HATES it, naturally). Stuff like that. But no flowers, candy, gifts, "ILYs" or anything else that is needy, grabby, pursuing or "melty man."
