It is not known exactly when the celebrations of Spouses Day started in the United States and spread to the world, but it could have been started after the Military Spouses Day was created in 1984.

60 Ways To Celebrate Spouses Day

It’s a day that truly calls for a celebration. If you are in a long marriage then chances are you are living a routine life going to work, cooking dinner, putting the children to sleep and looking after the elderly.
