Celebrate Your 30th Wedding Anniversary With These Wonderful Gifts

Marriage is one of the modern, civilised world's greatest quirks. Some people hate it, some people love it, but almost everyone believes that it is a major milestone in your life. Marriage is one of the things you do when you're in the prime of your life, it is one of the indicators that you're settling down and finally ready to be considered an adult. Married life is the start of the rest of your life, the one that begins when you find a job and move past adolescence and grow up and begin a life outside of living with your parents. 

Marriage might be traditionally required, and a huge part of history and tradition since times immemorial for two people to be united, but it is also considered as a declaration of love. Marriage, in almost all cultures, for the better part of 2 millennia, didn't have an out. It was considered to be a contract that was ended only when death divided two people. Marriage was considered to be a union of two souls that loved each other, and to stay with each other as long as their life permitted them to. In some cultures, it was considered a contract for beyond one life, and considered to be a relationship that lasted 7 lifetimes. 

The concept of true love is also when that stems from marriage, considering that people thought when they saw a long, successful marriage that they were looking at two people that loved each other completely and completed each other, allowing them to stay together for almost their entire lives. 

It is for this reason that certain milestones in marriages are associated with specific items, for example, your 15th marriage anniversary is the crystal jubilee, while 25th is the silver jubilee. Your 30th marriage anniversary, that is, 30 years spent with the same person, is known as the pearl anniversary. This is because pearls are associated with wisdom. Pearls also have been associated with the moon, because they look exactly like it. Pearls are a symbol of wealth, power and innocence. They are a symbol of purity. This is because pearls have a storied history, one they have shared over thousands of years because of their connection to opulence. Pearls were used by kings and Maharajas to show off their wealth. Later it was worn by paragons of elegance, such as Audrey Hepburn. 

Celebrating your pearl anniversary with your spouse, the person who has shared your life with you and knows you better than almost anyone deserves something amazing.
