As the proverb says: "To get married is not to attack, as if married not to perish!" Living together side by side, performing everyday household duties, the need to put up with the shortcomings of the spouse, resolve differences, adjust to each other, put the interests of the partner above personal ones - all this can kill seemingly the strongest and most ardent feelings at the root. Family life is not only joy, first of all, it is difficulties that are divided in half. It is not surprising that every marriage anniversary is marked by some symbol.
