Couple Appreciation Month
Being in a long-term relationship (marriage, life partners) can sometimes lead us to a state of complacency with our significant other.  Use this month to tell and show your other how much you appreciate them and how you don't take them for granted. Use your imagination when showing them appreciation -make their favorite foods, do the tasks they normally do around the house before they can get to them to give them a little break and to let them know that you do see their contribution to the household, leave them little love notes, etc.
This month I also think it's great if there are some couples in your life that you have learned from, been inspired by, etc that you show them appreciation for the investment that they have knowingly or unknowingly put into your own couple relationship.
