50 People Who Proved Their Love With Wholesome And Funny Anniversaries (New Pics)

Remembering anniversaries can get more difficult as years pass by. As relationship coaches Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman told The Good Trade, both partners put in the most effort at the beginning of a relationship, and it declines naturally with time. "It becomes easier to take your partner's presence for granted and forget your 'commitments' to each other," they explained.

However, not all people believe in celebrating anniversaries. Olga Alexandru, for example, writes for Business Insider how she and her partner refuse to celebrate Valentine's Day or any anniversaries. Instead of one fixed day a year, the couple surprises each other with small gifts and gestures throughout the year. Both believe it makes them more mindful of the relationship.

Content creator Jonna Jerome also doesn't get angry at her husband after he forgets their anniversary. On the contrary, she even loves him more for it. She writes how she changed her perspective on glamorizing the intoxication of new love over the years. "The hard times have shown me the kind of person I partnered with. This connection is what can keep you happily together long after neither one of you looks good in (or out) of a suit."

Yet we don't want to discourage anyone from celebrating anniversaries, especially if they're not with this much wholesomeness and style as the ones in this list.
