Repeat paragraph 3. (or a version thereof)
A lot.

Seriously, it's important to recognize that you have a mission that is not going to happen with the flick of a switch. The fine line you have to walk is making sure that "making things better" isn't so much a criticism of what is.
You might, for example, tell her how much you enjoyed the candle lit evening... even point out that her thank you did not go unnoticed. Tell her you're going to do it again and hint she can make requests.
It might take some time and lots of massages and candles... but you are setting a stage. You're actually demonstrating how you want the relationship to develop... and, in a sense, creating an obligation for her to respond and react in the same or a similar way.
Just take it slow... let it develop. Lots of patience, lots of love, lots of attention on your part... it sounds like work, but I'll bet you find it worth it.
