What’s the 20-year anniversary gift for the wedding anniversary gifts by the year list? The traditional gift for this year is china as it represents the delicate but yet persevering nature of the marriage.which has grown into balance over time. China can be very beautiful and if properly cared for will last for many years and yet if not handled correctly it could be smashed into many pieces very easily. China is often the pride of the family, used for special occasions, and people love to show off their special dinner plates and accessories with care and expense. A husband and wife that have grown into a unique and special oneness can exhibit this beauty to others with pride. They have learned to highly value and appreciate their uniqueness and their special character which then can be displayed to others. Some couples have taken time to add gold trim and a high polished surface to their marriage which is attractive and visible by everyone.
The modern theme of the wedding anniversary gifts by the year is platinum. Physically, platinum is a soft, lustrous, silver-coloured metal which is highly dense, malleable and ductile (there is an ongoing debate if it is the most ductile). 
It is also highly corrosion resistant and has a high boiling point ( around 1700 degrees Celsius or 3220 degrees Fahrenheit). After 20 years of marriage you should’ve developed a softness towards each other so that it is evident that you favor the one you love. Your relationship should be easily noticed by others for its lasting values and yet be so dense and intense that it is protected from any intrusion. Having ductility in your marriage means that you easily stretch to help each other accomplish new dreams in your lives and do not break under the stress that every individual faces at one time or another in their lives. The walls you have built in your marriage should make it free from corrosion and break down. Last but not the least, by every stretch of the imagination, you should practice the saying, “Do not let the sun go down on your anger”, or better still vow to really listen in a non- judgmental fashion and keep from getting angry in the first place. Have a very high boiling point and allow for faults in others. As is readily evident both china and platinum are excellent representatives of the 20th wedding anniversary gifts by the year.

This is so informative to me! I’ve always wondered why my mother-in-law collected fine China. I had no idea until now, why it was important to her. My father-in-law being the great husband he is, always supporter her interest in fine China. After working very hard for many decades he has the money to spend on such things or at least has bought some here or there over the years. When we are better supported financially, I will do the same. And yes marriage is delicate and important to take care of like fine China. Right now, as my wife and I go through a bit of a strained time in our marriage, this helpful to remind me to be more delicate with her and give her more grace. Thanks for your great and informative site. I’ll be sure to return to it again and again!
