Modern couples are rejecting traditional celebrations like anniversaries in favor of 'arbitrary-versaries,' a term that highlights quirky, specific moments that define their relationships. From moments as mundane as a shared experience of cooking to the awkwardness of peeing with the door open, these celebrations foster connection and intimacy. By embracing these unique milestones, couples like Emma Glassman-Hughes and her partner emphasize the importance of personal, memorable experiences in evolving relationships, rather than adhering to societal norms.
Instead of agonizing over "official" coupledom, we celebrated our first annual "co-soup day," marking the night we made soup together, breaking intimacy barriers.
Arbitrary-versaries can be a fun excuse to mark the passage of time with someone you love and intend to spend more time with.
