The anniversary of marital relations - one of the main family holidays. Each house is marked in its own way according to traditions, budget and its own wishes.

Twelve years of marriage is worth spending a memorable day. The holiday is good when it is in the shower. And to share their emotions with loved ones or save for two, the heroes of the occasion decide for themselves.
What is the name of this anniversary?
The 12th anniversary of living together is called nickel. In ancient Russia, it was not celebrated exactly twelve years after the wedding, but they waited from the cherished marriage date for another 5 months. But modern traditions reinterpreted this rule in such a way that it was convenient for reference and significant in numbers.
To be able to save a marriage in 12 years is not an easy task, which is far from being achieved by all couples. Only truly loving and wise unions survive all crises and retain the strength and closeness of relationships. Joint years harden feelings and help spouses with the help of each other to get an education teacher, raising children, a psychologist, building relationships, an accountant, distributing a family budget, a builder, building his own house. They are fit to present a diploma on multilateral exposure and jewelry cut marriage.
The nickel date was called in honor of the noble metal, which in the old days was estimated not cheaper than gold and silver. The name is not accidental, because the relationships at the current stage, tried and tested by life, are valued above all.
Nickel distinguishes strength, brilliance and stability. Relations in a close-knit family are inherent in his physical qualities. If the spouses respect and protect each other, the relationship will not fade with time. Without putting them to the test and stress, you can keep the marriage as strong as nickel.
The 12th anniversary of living together has a few more titles with an interesting story. Some nations call it silk. This is explained by the fact that silk is considered a noble and durable material, which is always highly valued and does not know wear. The strength of a silk thread is comparable to wire. So the relationship of the couple during this period can not be broken by negligence. In order to break the harmony in marriage, we need very weighty reasons, which, like a shears, will be able to break the trust and connection between the spouses.
And the inhabitants of the United States twelfth anniversary of the wedding day is called the pearl. Among Americans, it is believed that such a significant date can be compared only with precious pearls. This is the same miracle of nature, available for owning not everyone.
In China, one of the symbols of this wedding anniversary is considered the "king of flowers" - the peony. It symbolizes nobility, love and happiness, promises abundance and reverence. A lush blooming flower attracts good luck, and no less revered in the West. In ancient times, it was used in medicine, and among the Greeks it was treated as a talisman, promising longevity.

But the relationship must continue to follow with the same attention, but they can lose their appearance and inner beauty, having ceased to be precious to both.

Modern hostesses on the eve of a memorable date polish all household utensils from teaspoons to five-liter pans to shine. They sincerely believe that after such cleansing the dishes and the family will face a clean future. In carrying out this task in strong families, wives help their wives. This is not considered a gift to the wife of the faithful. Mutual assistance and support in any business is a guarantee of a happy and long marriage.
