• Yes, I decided, one can truly change. Time has taught me much about myself, and a few universal truths. I learned, for instance, that while wounds can be inflicted easily upon those we love, it's often much more difficult to heal them. Yet the process of healing those wounds provided the richest experience of my life, leading me to believe that while I've often overestimated what I could accomplish in a day, I had underestimated what I could do in a year. But most of all, I learned that it's possible for two people to fall in love over and over again, no matter how many disappointments are between them.
? Nicholas Sparks, The Wedding (Adapted)

Laugh, I tell you
And you will turn back
The hands of time.
Smile, I tell you
And you will reflect
The face of the divine.
Sing, I tell you
And all the angels will sing with you!
Cry, I tell you
And the reflections found in your pool of tears -
Will remind you of the lessons of today and yesterday
To guide you through the fears of tomorrow.
? Suzy Kassem, The Writings of Suzy Kassem
I'm growing fonder of my staff;
I'm growing dimmer in my eyes;
I'm growing fainter in my laugh;
I'm growing deeper in my sighs;
I'm growing careless of my dress;
I'm growing frugal of my gold;
I'm growing wise; I'm growing - yes, -
I'm growing old. But I will never grow tired of you.
? John Godfrey Saxe (Adapted)
You're the only friend I need
Sharing beds like little kids
And laughing 'til our ribs get tough.
But that will never be enough.
I need to grow old with you.
? Lorde, Lorde - Pure Heroine Songbook (Adapted)

Marriage and Couples' Therapy
What do you say on an anniversary?
Any of the anniversary quotes and anniversary messages in the article above are an excellent way to wish your partner a happy anniversary. Though some of these anniversary quotes are best for married couples, many of them are also applicable to long-term couples who want to celebrate their relationship but aren’t married. Here are some additional ideas for wonderful anniversary quotes or anniversary messages:
“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.” - Nicholas Sparks
“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.” - Judy Garland
“The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they’re right if you love to be with them all the time.” - Julia Child
Some people also add a classic statement like, “I’ll love you until the day I die” or “I’ll love you forever,” when they say happy anniversary to show their commitment and affection for their partner. If you’re a friend or family member of a couple you care about, you can also use these quotes as a part of your happy anniversary wish. You might put one of these quotes on or inside of a card or gift alongside the words “happy anniversary” to let them know that you care and are thinking of them.
What is correct; wedding anniversary or marriage anniversary?
While “wedding anniversary” is more popular, you can use the terms wedding anniversary and marriage anniversary interchangeably if you decide to do so. Some people have a preference for either term, whereas others don’t. What’s important is that you let your spouse know how much you cherish the relationship and that you give others in your life your best wishes by wishing them a happy anniversary when they remember their big day. The biggest part of making every anniversary special is knowing that you’re with someone that you love and that you’re dedicated to maintaining a healthy relationship together. Spend time with your special someone and pick anniversary messages or anniversary gifts that suit your relationship to make your wedding anniversary or marriage anniversary a great one.
Do you wish someone a happy anniversary?
It is a kind gesture to wish people a happy anniversary on their special day. If someone mentions that they have an anniversary coming up, it is polite to say “happy anniversary” to them. You don’t have to spend hours finding the perfect quote to wish a friend a happy anniversary; keeping it casual and wishing them well is good enough. There are some occasions, however, where you may wish to craft a special message or find distinct anniversary gifts. For example, if you’re wishing your parents a happy anniversary, you may want to do something unique or special. You can look for anniversary quotes for parents online, or you can find an anniversary gift that’ll warm their hearts. Especially for a milestone anniversary, you might consider getting flowers or a similar special gift sent to your parents with a happy anniversary quote or note enclosed. This is a great idea for anyone because it’s something that you can do to wish someone a happy anniversary no matter how close or far you are from each other.
What is the sweetest thing to say to your husband?
It can be hard to think of the perfect thing to say to show your husband that you love him, whether you’re looking for happy anniversary quotes and anniversary messages to use when celebrating an anniversary or sweet sayings to use on any given day. A sweet, well-known quote by Karen Clodfelde goes, “As we grow older together, as we continue to change with age, there is one thing that will never change - I will always keep falling in love with you.” This is a quote that you can use as a happy anniversary quote or during a romantic moment in your day to day life. Regardless of if you use a well-known quote or write one of your own, choose something customizable and tailored to your husband, his personality, and his interests. Compliment him on his traits on a regular basis and point out what makes him special. The display of affection and appreciation will go a long way.
How do I write a love message to my husband?
If you want to craft a unique love message for your husband, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, think about the kind of person he is. Would he prefer something funny, or would something deep and romantic be a better fit? It’s likely that you know him better than anyone else, so choose something with a personal touch. For example, you can reference or recall a memory that the two of you have together in your message, or you can write out the things you love about him. This will show that you put effort into making the love message special. If there’s a song you both like, a song you danced to at your wedding, or another song that depicts the love you feel, you can also quote the lyrics to add to the romance and thoughtful nature of the gesture. The same goes for a special book or movie. Wedding anniversary wishes and happy anniversary quotes don’t have to be grandiose or over the top to be special if that’s not your or your partner’s personality; sometimes, the most well-loved, expressive, and classic quotes of all time are also the most simple.
What is the most romantic saying?
There are many classic or popular romantic sayings that you can use to express your love, whether you use them alongside anniversary gifts or on any given day. Here are some of them:
“You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest and most beautiful person I have ever known - and even that is an understatement.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald
