What's with Monthsaries?


You feel butterflies in your stomach, you smile for no exact reason, and you are always excited to talk about love. Definitely, you’re in love.

It’s so common for couples to celebrate their anniversary. Of course, only few relationships last for years. Anniversaries were usually celebrated to reminisce the first time couples fell in love and to renew their love for each other. Many believed that by celebrating this special occasion, relationships grew stronger and tighter. However, nowadays, especially when teenage love affair became popular, another “sary” existed: Monthsary.

Monthsaries, as we all know, were important days for couples. It is very much alike to anniversaries, but these were celebrated in terms of months, as opposed to anniversaries which are celebrated in terms of years. The only difference is that there are only 11 monthsaries for a certain event; the 12th would already be an anniversary. Monthsaries were famous for young lovers or teenagers in a relationship. This set-up usually existed in high school where cheesiness and “kilig” factors are present.

While many couples engaged their selves in celebrating their special time on a monthly basis, there are some couples who don’t celebrate monthsaries. They thought that those who celebrate monthsaries will have relationship that won’t last. For them, couples don’t need to have a monthly celebration for they don’t have to count the months or days their relationship had gone.
However, many couples still liked to celebrate their monthsary because this makes their relationship strong. They celebrate their love monthly and so renewed their feelings for each other every time they would celebrate monthsaries. For them, it feels like they fall in love with each other every month. They thought that counting the numbers of months they’ve been together were a mark of a strong relationship.

Love expires especially when not renewed. And so, it’s always important to improve your love for your partner by celebrating special occasions like monthsary. It seems cheesy, impractical and juvenile, but this would definitely heat up your love for each other. Like many other couple celebration, monthsaries also has its pro's and con's. But that's not really matter. What matters is that you cherish the moment you have with the one you love. Because every day with your loved one is a celebration.
