I wouldn't consider that a good way to build a relationship.
 Remembrance of anniversaries does not a loving life make.

I don't know why this looms so large in the public mind set.  That it is
somehow a sign of a loving male spouse (females are assumed to never forget
dates) that he remembers faithful as a dog certain dates and brings home
candy she doesn't need, and the severed sex organs of plants.  Or, heaven
forbid he forget in which case she can hold out for something that busts
the budget.

Demonstrate to me how this has anything to do with love.  If I may quote
from the wedding program at my own last nuptial event.

"Love, Is the warm feeling inside that says "I am not
alone". The leap of joy at the sight of the one. Quiet hours in silent
company. Love needs no trumpets. It requires not thrills. Love thrives in
the whispered word, the glance of an eye, the touch of a hand. Love is a
kindness done "because", flowers given for no occasion. Love
never questions, it never asks, it gives. Love is the warmth that abides
through the deepest cold long after the fires of lust have died. Love
sustains. Love protects. And all else failing;  Love Remembers"

So if you love him or her, you will give.  Dates are not important and life
too short of petty spats over dates remembered or forgotten.  Love him, or
her, for what they do, not what you think they should do.

Remember this, one day you will turn around and they will be gone.
 Sometimes without warning, or that final good-bye.  Make sure your love
is said and acted on every day, and never part angry.  Dates are for
keeping score.  Love does not keep score, it is unconditional.  For richer
for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part.
 And death comes all too soon.

In case anyone cares, it's September 18 and this will be year ten.
