Not many couples make it to their Golden Anniversary or 50th wedding anniversary. Here are some touching happy anniversary quotes for celebrating this special day.

Yet the process of healing those wounds provided the richest experience of my life, leading me to believe that while I've often overestimated what I could accomplish in a day, I had underestimated what I could do in a year. But most of all, I learned that it's possible for two people to fall in love over and over again, no matter how many disappointments are between them. - Nicholas Sparks, The Wedding (Adapted)

Marriage and couples therapy

Marriage can be challenging, and making it through the first year can be just as hard as making it through 50 years. If you and your partner need help to work through relationship problems or want to strengthen your bond, marriage or couples therapy is a great option.

Many people feel they don’t have time to attend in-person sessions or find talking to someone face-to-face off-putting. If this sounds like you, consider online marriage or couples therapy. With online therapy, you and your partner attend sessions from home or anywhere you have an internet connection, making it easier to fit into your schedules. You don’t have to worry about a commute or being on a waiting list, and you can communicate with your therapist via online chat, text, phone, or email. 

Research shows that couples consistently described feeling like they were able to connect with their therapist during online sessions, and they found the experience positive and beneficial. Sign-up with Regain to learn more.

If you have problems communicating in your marriage or need more help than finding the right quote, online therapy can help.
