It’s hard to argue that the little things in life can often take over; the bills, the kids, the laundry, and a to-do list that never quits are certainly what drives our calendars. But when life moves at warp speed, there are so many things that can fall through the cracks, and, sadly, taking the time to share your feelings with your true love can be one of them.
With all that happens day after day and month after month, there’s one day, however, that’s reserved for you and your love to take a moment to stop and reflect. Whether you’ve been together for two years or 20, your anniversary will always be a special day. With any luck, you and your sweetheart can plan something fun and take some time off to enjoy each other’s company. And while delicious meals and candlelight may hit the mark, love notes never fail either.
We know that sometimes finding the right words can be difficult, so if you’re looking for some inspiration, here are 50 anniversary quotes to help you celebrate your marriage milestones, express your love, and maybe even remind you of why you chose to spend forever with them.
