Monthsaries or monthly celebrations in a relationship is getting quite common. A lot of couples I know celebrate this and of course they are proud that they are together even just for a couple of months. My girlfriend and I just greet each other each month that passes and we really don't celebrate big. So do you and your partner celebrate monthsaries even if you have been together for more than a year already?

We haven't reached our anniversary yet (we will VERY VERY soon). I think we'll continue on celebrating our monthsaries even after we our first anniversary. We like celebrating - we like planning about a date and all that mushy stuffs :) I'm glad my boyfriend is that attentive, it assures me that we'd last for a long, long time :)

i think this is common on bf/gf stage but for married couples like me and my husband, it would be not that practical to give gifts every month or we are already preoccupied with family matters to think of a monthly event:-)

I agree sometimes it gets to costly and impractical to give gifts every month. Thanks for responding

well, for new couples like you, you can still celebrate monthsaries without spending too much, just a nice love letter and a kiss will make your day sparkle, right? i can still remember my husband's love letters when we were at a young stage. i really miss those letters.

yes we do celebrate monthsaries even if we are already 3 years in this relation of ours.. even if we have anniversaries, we still like celebrating monthsaries. it feels different when each of you greets "hi babie, happy monthsary! i hope you'll enjoy your time with me in this special date of month" giving love letters though you know that you'll be married soon.. the essence of your lovelife is getting stronger when both of you remembers how valuable and memorable your hardships was when you were just a couple of months in your relationship.. really, its great and even now we still have the same sweetness as before because we celebrate monthsaries as if we we're just starting up to a whole new world..

I've been with my husband for 5 years, married for 3 months and we've never celebrated anything. No "monthiversary" no anniversary.

Actually, I really don't know.. We value our Monthsary of course but we don't usually go out like for a date but if possible we want to be together during our Monthsary.. Actually, today is our 45 Monthsary.. But sad to say we are not together right now since he is in the another city or should I say Island (Mindanao and I'm in Luzon).. But I already greet him and we already talked through chats.. Later after my work, we will talked on the phone.. In our previous Monthsary, we usually go to movies.. But not every Monthsary, only if there are chances.. We just make sure that we are together in our Anniversary because I think that's the most every special day..

yep with my my x-bofriend we been together for more than 3 years, and as the day of our montsary comes we always make plans were to go. we don't also celebrate it big. but we make it a point to go somewhere that we could remember our past, conflicts and etc. and we just talk and see how much we really love each other. that's why i could never forget my x- boyfriend. he means so much to me. I like my present he never cares baout anything. but he keeps on telling me that he love me, but I could hardly see it.

We began dating on the 24th day of January 2004, then we start to celebrate "monthsaries" the next month. The 7th month was our last "monthsary" because we got married. But until now, we still celebrate "monthsary", spend time in the house, cuddling, watching tv together...we never failed to greet eachother every month. For wedding anniversaries, it reminds us, yearly of our marriage vows and to keep them fresh as always. But with "monthsaries", it is a sweet reminder of how our love began.
This month will be our 56th "monthsary." Four 12 months plus 8. Is my math correct? Anyhow, this is a great way for lovers and married couples to keep the passion alive.

The first two years, Boyfriend and I were really into the "monthsaries". Okay, I admit it, it was me who was more into the "monthsaries". Boyfriend and I would usually do something on the 28th of the month. For those two years too, Boyfriend and I celebrated our "half-yearsary" until we realized that we've been celebrating such a month earlier.
But after that, we just do something on our anniversary now. Most times, we would remember that we forgot to mention the 28th 2 days later or something like that.
