Romantic surprise
If the husband and wife decided not to celebrate their 40th birthday in a noisy company, then you can arrange a surprise for your spouse and organize a romantic dinner in the open air. At this age, romance is not such a frequent companion of marital relations, and the husband’s anniversary is a good reason to recall your feelings.

You can use the traditional options, for example, “For courage”, “For courage”, or you can choose cool and even intimate words, for example, “For the fact that only you can kiss my ears so passionately” or “For being so cute wrinkle your nose when you laugh. "
