The first year anniversary gift is paper. Do not allow your finances to get out of line or your relationship will certainly suffer. Whatever it was, re-establish the tradition. For example, if you live in a place where there are caves, make a day of driving around and exploring caves.
Just as you would schedule a meeting on your calendar, show some courtesy in the relationship by scheduling time with each other.
Embrace Change There is no relationship on the face of the planet that goes for years and years without change. Arrange the pictures to coordinate with the months and then as a Christmas or birthday gift, or just as a special surprise, present it to your loved one. Perhaps one of you has company coming and the house needs to be cleaned, laundry done, and groceries purchased. This time can be with friends, dining out, attending a sporting event, or cuddling together while watching a favorite movie. This gesture will show your mate that you really care by sacrificing your time.
Make this fun, exciting, and keep traditions alive.
Dating and marriage is different than it was twenty years ago. In todays society, more than 50% of all marriages fail for one reason or another. Just thinking about that makes commitment seem scary. It seems that when relationships are faced with challenges, people quit trying. Dating is more like a marathon, trying to date as many people as possible, instead of taking time to get to know someone at a deeper level. For married couples, divorce is not biased. Whether married for thirty years or eight months, the outcome can be the same.
The fact is that relationships, whether dating or married, are hard. Things do not always go perfectly, fighting does occur, and it takes a 100% commitment from both parties to make it a success. Often when people break off a relationship, they feel as though something is missing. The spark has gone, leaving one or both people feeling inadequate and unfulfilled.
However, even though the odds are not very good, healthy, and long-lasting relationships are definitely possible and proven by many people. Look at Paul Newman and Joanne Woodard, Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman, or Nancy and Ronald Regan. What secrets do they possess? The answer is that they all work hard at their relationship. They made a decision of choosing to love their mate rather than relying on the warm and fuzzy feelings, which everyone knows will fade. By making love a choice you are making a decision that even in the bad times, you stick it out.
Think of it like choosing a car. You pick out the make, model, year, color, and features that you believe are best for you. After driving your car for a couple of months, you realize that perhaps you should have purchased a larger car, or that maybe the leather seats would have been better, or on hot sunny days, the sunroof would have been nice. However, it is now too late so you choose to keep your car and make it work. It is the same for marriage. Not everything will be perfect and there will be major obstacles to overcome but you have made your decision and now you choose to make it work.
