Mmm..., así, a bote pronto yo diría:
Dar por hecho Asumir como realidad Tener asumido que... Considerar (algo) sin cuestionarlo... Creer a pies juntillas... The above is what I come up with, just from my mental "bullpen", but don't take for granted the correctness of what I wrote. Lo anterior es lo que se me ocurre, directamente de mi "archivo de datos" mental, pero no des por sentada la corrección de lo que he escrito. Veo que lo que indica Perikles (que se me ha adelantado mientras yo tecleaba), confirma lo que pensaba.

Nobody came up with the expression I was looking for. For example when a husband takes his wife for granted.

The thread needs changed from 'take it for granted' to 'take somebody for granted', since this is what you wanted translated.
Done.

¡Aaah-cabáramos!
El marido no le da el valor que se merece... No valorar a alguien como se merece...
