THE ANNIVERSARY GAME

submitted by: Joe Strange

My bride and I have two rituals we have been doing for at least ten years. The first is that we kiss after we pray for each meal. This inspires our children that Mommy and Daddy love each other. Our friends are often inspired as well, saying “We should do that too”.

The second tradition is our anniversary. We started dating on September 1st and were also married on September 1st. It has become an ongoing romantic game to see who can say Happy Anniversary on the First of each month. We leave notes, answering machine messages and sometimes just answer the phone Happy Anniversary, to the surprise of some, just to win the game. It reminds us each month of our love and commitment to each other. I don’t know who’s ahead in the count. But I do know that we each have won the game.
