It's usually the shift in tone or language that people notice. If you always call you husband darling and one day call him by name, the man's going to piss his pants wondering what he did wrong. If you write informally and without punctuation and one day shift to a formal message with proper punctuation, the change in tone won't go unnoticed. It signals a change in the relationship, barring any other major shifts.
