It means that you do not appreciate what is being done. For example; If your wife cleaned the house every day when you first got married and you were filled with this wonderful sense of "wow she is such a wonderful woman"; then that would be appreciation. If after a few years you stopped taking notice of this hard work she was doing and were no longer filled with that sense of appreciation, then you may then begin taking her "for granted".
