🎁 Anniversary Gift Guide by Year


With our anniversary right around the corner (29 years on Sunday!) I've been thinking about traditional anniversary gifts...

What I love most is that each theme reflects the growing strength of marriage through the years.

You start out with delicate paper in year one, then upgrade to wood, bronze, crystal, until you eventually reach unbreakable diamond (year 60).

It's such a beautiful picture of how time and life's pressures create an unshakeable love and an extraordinary marriage.

Now, we know your spouse probably doesn't have much use for an actual bar of metal for your anniversary!

That's why we've curated gorgeous gift ideas for major milestones, honoring those meaningful traditional themes while giving you both creative options you'll love.

🚨 New Book Alert: Bad Marriage Advice

We're excited to tell you about an incredible marriage book that just launched!

Bad Marriage Advice: Debunking Myths That Will Make You Miserable and What To Do Instead by Monica Tanner

I (Alisa) was honored to write the foreword because this book busts the clichés that ruin relationships and replaces them with truth that will actually grow your marriage. 💕

This book is fun, practical, and eye-opening.

It takes the common myths we’ve all heard, like:

❌ “Never go to bed angry”

❌ “Happy wife, happy life”

❌ “If they love you, they’ll just know what you need”

…and shows you how to replace them with truths that will actually move your marriage forward.

Grab your copy on Amazon today to start busting these myths in your own relationship.

Better yet, grab a few copies for friends and family, because who doesn’t need better marriage advice?

Today's Trivia Answer

Question: According to research, how many facial muscles can be involved in a deep, passionate, full-body kiss?

A. 3 to 8

B. 9 to 14

C. 15 to 22

D. 23 to 34

From an anatomy standpoint, it’s not just your lips that are involved in kissing.

It’s a full-body experience. Your head, nose, tongue, arms, and other body parts, including your brain, are all involved.

According to research, a simple kiss could use just a couple of muscles...

But a deep, passionate, full-body kiss could involve upwards of 23 to 34 facial muscles and 112 postural muscles.

Your lips are packed with nerves that send info to your brain about what is happening. You have all 5 senses in play too and you are recording all of this information about what’s happening.

Plus, let’s not forget all those hormones that are being released the whole time, further impacting the experience.
