Why You Should Make a Big Deal of Your Anniversary & 10 Magnificent 6 Year Wedding Anniversary Gifts for Husband

Do you remember what happened every day in your married life? How about your anniversaries? An anniversary goes beyond just being another date night where you share gifts and a card. It is during anniversaries when you celebrate being with your husband and gift him something that says “I really am glad that you are here for me”. It is the day you stood together and vowed to be with each other in sickness and health. And it's a day you shouldn't let just slide past you.

The first thought that comes to your mind when talking about your wedding anniversary is your wedding day. The anticipation, the sneaky looks and just plain happiness, and above all the vows you said when you held each other. Marriage is a celebration of bringing not only the two of you together; it also brings two families together. It is also the birthplace of a new relationship. Don't forget to gift each other something wonderful to commemorate that. It might not be materialistic. Instead, it can be a memory or time spent together.

Don't think it is just another day where you perhaps exchange a few presents and go out for a nice dinner. Take the time to assess your relationship. Think about where you are, compared to where you want to be. Set new goals for the oncoming year, not only as a couple but also for your life and your career. Think about what you want in life as a couple. Maybe you want to move to a different city or a country. Maybe you want to have kids. Take time to understand each other and know, if you both are happy where you are at. Ask if there is anything he would prefer you change. Above everything, tell him how much you love him. It might be an old-school love letter or a card, as long as it talks about your feelings.

Life goes by very fast. Often there is no time to stand by and marvel at the beauty of nature or even your relationship. On this anniversary take time out to create memories that you can reminisce when the going gets tough. Stop everything and just bask in the love that you both have for each other. Life has no smooth sailing. It is these memories that give you confidence in your love.

An anniversary isn’t about gifts and love letters. This anniversary, take time out from your regular activities and spend time with each other. Reinvent your love for each other and celebrate your unbreakable bond. We have a few tips for you to help you celebrate this day in a unique fashion and create memories that can be passed on to your kids and grandkids. It is these memories that stay with us beyond all those gifts.

If you have dated before marriage, you definitely have some special memories that you love to talk about even now after 6 years of marriage. Pick out one of these special memories. It may be a movie night or the night when you cooked for him or your first coffee date or your favourite restaurant. Recreate one of those special memories right down to the finest detail and surprise him on your anniversary. There’s no better surprise like walking down the memory lane and living it all over again.

We are sure you have thought wistfully about how you would love to visit that new restaurant with your husband. What about the small town a few miles over that you always wanted to visit. Or maybe the hiking trail he always wanted to try out. Choose one that suits the day and set out on your romantic adventure. Hold hands and leave all the serious talk back at home when you set out. It’s the time for romance, not anything serious. Humour him for the day and don't squabble. It would definitely ruin what you have planned for the day.

After 6 years of being together, you must have fallen into a routine that is pretty much the same every day. How about shaking things up a little? It might even help to bring you closer to your husband.

Find a class or an activity nearby that attracts you. It may be cake decorating or painting or pottery classes; Enroll for at least a month and take time out to attend classes. This way you might even find a common ground and love doing it in the future too. If you know baking, you can follow a recipe and try baking your anniversary cake at home with your husband. It might not turn out perfect or even edible, but the time spent together matters and you will find yourself loving every minute of it. You can also take up cycling or hiking or even camping out in the wilderness.

By now you would have realised that time and tide wait for no man. Whatever plans you made for a trip was just plans since you never found time to bring it to fruition. How about forgetting everything and heading out on a trip? Get the urgent tasks done, leave the rest for later, inform your offices, pack everything and just head for a mountain retreat. Stretch your legs and sip lemonade while you read your favourite book.

Hold hands like when you were dating and visit tourist spots. Forget everything and imagine that life revolves around you. The retreat can bring you guys closer and strengthen your marital bond. It might also solve any unsolved issues in your heart and love blooms stronger than ever.
