Marriage is a curious thing. Anyone who\u2019s been married (or is<\/em> married) knows that no matter how much you love your partner, there\u2019s always that element of conflict. You\u2019re two distinct personalities, after all, and no matter how deep your bond, you\u2019re going to disagree \u2013 and compete.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

That competition is healthy, and can be a lot of fun. For example, every anniversary or birthday is an opportunity to top your partner with the gift you select to mark the occasion. This kind of healthy competition not only makes every gift occasion a lot more fun, it also means the level of gifts rises every year, to the benefit of both spouses. Here are some ideas you can use to win the Gifting War staged around your wedding anniversary gifts.<\/p>\n

A Secret Photo<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Usually when we take photos to mark a moment, occasion, or just because our spouse looks so beautiful you can\u2019t resist, we make a big production out of it. We tweak the pose, we announce we\u2019re taking a photo, we take our time.<\/p>\n

\"Secret<\/p>\n

Instead, when you see an opportunity for an emotionally powerful moment, don\u2019t tell your spouse you\u2019re about to snap a photo. If you can, sneak that photo: Wander a little way away and wait for a distracted moment, and then capture a beautiful moment in secret. Then keep<\/em> that secret until the anniversary comes around, and have it turned into a gorgeous wedding anniversary gift print in canvas, metal, or glass \u2013 canvas can serve for the first anniversary, aluminium for the tenth, and glass for the third, in case you\u2019re interested. Your spouse will be amazed, because they will have thought that moment lost to memory.<\/p>\n

The Most Intimate Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The word \u2018intimate\u2019 often gets confused with, er, the bedroom \u2013 but in reality it just means you know your spouse better than anyone else in the whole world. If you\u2019re blessed to basically have all the material goods you\u2019ll ever need, buying expensive presents for your anniversary might be nice, but it\u2019ll also just get put in a drawer and forgotten, won\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Instead, explore that intimacy \u2013 you and your spouse know each other better than anyone else in the whole world, so plan a day around that intimacy. Make or order his or her favourite breakfast, down to their preferred tea or coffee. Give them their favourite chocolates of all time. Play their favourite song. Take them to their private spot they go to. You could even invite their best friend \u2013 the point is, plan a day based on the secret knowledge you \u2013 and only you \u2013 have. Imagine you were asked to plan the perfect day for your spouse, and take the challenge seriously.<\/p>\n

\"Wedding<\/p>\n

Wedding anniversaries are important, but they can become a bit stale and predictable if you\u2019re not careful. Instead of just spending a lot of money and hoping the expense wows your partner, think deeper and draw on the shared intimacy you have to make something truly special.<\/p>\n
