Lovers celebrating MONTHSARY...what is your opinion?

When my sister got together and then marrried about three years ago they did, and it was cute. But my husband and I had never heard of it, and we're lucky if we don't forget our anniversaries (yearly that is) we did once, until a week later, on our 21st anniversary. We've been together about 37 years.. married 31.

hubby and i were engaged for 2 years before we got married and we did the same. even here in north america, couples do the same.

hi bjcelyn, My first boyfriend was a Filipino. It was a long distance relationship. He worked in a company far from us and I was a college student that time. Every time that our monthsarry will come, we just greet each other. Sometimes, he visits me and we have our dinner together. Some of my friends do same as they think that buying gifts every monthsarry is not practical especially in our situations in which we are still studying. In the case of my second boyfriend which is also in a long distance relationship, we just greet each other during monthsarry but it is just some ordinary days. What we celebrate is when it is our anniversary. That matters most in us, not the months but the years. During our anniversaries, we spend many hours talking with each other via yahoo messenger, gtalk or skype. We always talk about the ups and downs we had experienced during previous months and make a compromise not to do those things that will just hurt each one of us.

Were I am at in the US some people do it here. I think its sweet and cute, although only maybe people who just started in the relationship or just dating really would do something like this. I am married and me and my hubby doesn't celebrate the months that we have been together. We just basically go about it like any other day. We have done the celebrating the months though when we were newly weds and when we were dating. We would buy small gifts for one another and that's it.

hi, for me,celebrating of the monthsary is not that over acting for the partners,and that monthsary is both important in a lover or couple because they still remember the special day when they meet each other,so for me i also love to have monthsary with my partner.

We don't celebrate our monthsary. I also don't know lovers are celebrating it - well what I can only think about was because some couple feels they wouldn't last a year so they thought about celebrating it every month... that's just my opinion.

Yes we do celebrate it, it is important because its like being thankful for another month that was given to the both of you to love one another. Not just a dinner or an ordinary celebration.. but a time to look back and see how far have you gone as lovers and how much more you can accomplish together.

When my husband and I still in the bf/gf stage, we do celebrate our monthsary. We go out for a date, hear mass... but when we are in this stage now... having 3 kids and busy taking care of the family... we're happy to celebrate the anniversary date itself, but there's instance that we forgot the date for being so busy and just remembered 2 weeks after... *sigh! Anyway, we're not that sensitive with forgetting the dates! We can celebrate although it's late *LOL... Happy day!

gulp, I always forget monthsaries. I even forgot about my anniversay, I only remembered when we met on the very day, he kissed me on the cheek and he greeted me happy anniversary. We haven't done anything special, we just like hanging out with each other and that is enough for us. We don't spend money on gifts often. He spends money to feed me on dates almost every time, that is good enough. Just being together is the best gift we could ever ask for in our relationship! We don't really celebrate monthsaries, we have this contest of who can greet the other first. I don't think it is important. The important thing is our relationship is going well, we love each other and all that.

Yes this happens. During my courtship period and early marriage time, even me and my husband used to do such things. But now with a kid and after so many years of marriage these things have just gone some where very very far.

How couples celebrate their time together does not concern anyone else but themselves. It's an act of showing how happy they are together and is a sign of how looking forward they are to the anniversary. I'm in a 3 year 9 month relationship. We celebrate monthsary's all the time and its a great moment to enjoy each other knowing we have lasted long. It's a way of celebrating our togetherness and we love celebrating very often. I do hope we would last forever.

Being a Filipino, a lot of couples find it cute and maybe because they love each other. They really like to celebrate every month on their relationship. But for me, it doesn't matter. My bf, which is already my husband today used to be the one who religiously remembered. We don't celebrate but he always remembers to greet me. I didn't pay much attention with the date for my reason that remembering the date and celebrating gave me negative thought about it. For me it should not be celebrated for its like you have no trust on each other that you will reach the anniversary that is why you have to celebrate monthsary. Well, it's just my opinion. I think the most important is what you feel for each other even with or without celebration.

Hello Bj :) Well i celebrate monthsary with my husband every month. Every 11th of the month I do something special for him. ofcourse all month long I cant do something special because we are busy working, and trying to make our family but that one day we leave everything behind just to re-call the day we first met and about all the beautiful moments we shared together. Its been 5 years and 6 months and 7 days today!! :).. In those 5 years every 11th of the month has been very special and unique. Not necessary we buy expensive gifts or go on expensive dinners. Sometimes I cook him something at home and we have our own candle light dinner in our small home. Sometimes we go to the beach at night, sit there and talk about our future. Or we just spend the whole day cuddling each other on the bed and telling how much we love each other! I can never forget that day and it truly is special to me, :) because for me as I complete every month with my husband, I am one step closer to spending forever with him! Cheers.
