Celebrate Sweet Milestones - THE ANNIVERSARIES !!

As Aristotle put it, "Not only do we measure change by time, but time by change, because they are defined by one another." In these and a multitude of other ways, we impose a kind of order on the passage of time. It's not just birthdays, anniversaries or significant days of the calendar. Milestones have an inescapably social or relational dimension to them. The measurement itself frequently reflects a common value, and the achievement of the goal acts as an invitation to shared action. It is this, perhaps, which distinguishes birthdays and graduations from collective commemorations that take place around annual holidays, whether religious or secular. There is something unique about milestones in that they are achievements.

According to a research on longevity of Asian marriages, it turns out divorce isn’t as much about increased negative things as it is about decreased positive things. What to do? 

Celebrate the good moments more.

How many good moments do you need to make up for the bad ones? Research has a ratio for you: 5 to 1. Another fact in support of celebrating marriage anniversary with much fanfare is the relationship quality test conducted on 10000 couples, After ten weeks, the couples again took tests(after the primary test), to gauge the quality of their relationships. Those who had undertaken the “exciting” date nights showed a significantly greater increase in marital satisfaction … Protect your marriage by regularly trying new things and sharing new experiences with your spouse.

The researchers found that on the most stressful days, spouses reported more negative behaviours toward their partners and less satisfaction with their relationships. The psychologists posit that the energy dedicated toward handling stressful events detracts from the energy needed to maintain a good relationship. This can be dealt with easily with the help timely celebrations of not just marriage anniversary, but all special moments of the marriage which are special and close to the spouse.

Little goes a long way.

"You don't have to buy that $10,000 trip"+

"Doing or saying small things frequently to make your partner feel special, cared for and loved … is very predictive of staying together, being happy and [preventing] divorce,". Celebrating small, sweet personal moments with a small family get together and cakes can go a long way.

Feeling supported during negative events is inconsistently — and sometimes even negatively — linked to similar good feelings.

The spouses are more satisfied with their relationships when they are told to go on more exciting dates, such as hiking or going to parties. Those who succumb to the safer movie-rental routine don’t reap the same benefits. "If you open yourself up to new opportunities and potential surprises with your partner, then that can slow down adaptation," One more reason to celebrate anniversary with a high energy celebration.
