30th Anniversary Ideas?
Hi, MH family. CHL here, looking for advice. My husband and I will have been married for 30 years this June, and I’m looking for ideas on how to celebrate. We aren’t rolling in dough and still have our three kids (11-20) at home, plus there are the travel restrictions and social distancing to work around. You can see why your creativity will be appreciated. What have you done for similar celebrations? How can we make this anniversary really special—and sexy?
Ready? Shoot!
There is an app I like called Atlas of the Obscure. There are tons of free, uncommon ideas of things to do. Even in your home town, that you may not know about.
Hiking naked together? Camping for a weekend? Go to a neighboring city and have dinner without underwear. Make a fun scavenger hunt with sexual rewards throughout.
Hey, naked hiking! Hike Naked Day is only a few days before our anniversary! I'll have to investigate this further. We do have a camper, so a few days clothes-free in a secluded natural environment wouldn't go amiss.
I can’t find that app in the apple store.
The 30th Anniversary traditional gift is Pearl or Pearls. . . so my wife suggested you and your husband take a day off and go to an aquarium then spend the night in a nice hotel… with a view of the sea if you live near the ocean. (Or you could go whale watching or fishing on the ocean or fishing a lake or stream if ocean is not nearby.) If weather permits a walk on the beach could be romantic. You should go eat at a seafood restaurant or have seafood brought in as delivery or room service to the hotel room. Husband should give you a string of pearls or a single pearl necklace with matching earrings. If you dine in the hotel room you could eat in the nude with you wearing only the new pearl jewelry. You could feed each other… in creative ways. I remember a MH story involving pearls too. Look that one up.
Congratulations and happy anniversary!
Ooh, this sounds nice! We have coastline and I've heard tell of one actual sandy beach on it. Daytime temps should be amenable. I expect the just-pearls idea would serve as a gift for him, too. ? We did think about fishing, but if we caught anything it would turn into work! ?
Add a pearl necklace as ZZ Top describes.
Wear nice underwear
We had our thirtieth last summer under greater restrictions than we have right now, so certainly don’t let COVID get in the way of your celebration. You can adapt around it. Our celebrations are not usually big grandiose adventures because we really have never been able to afford that. But we always make something happen. This past year was a really great time, and I have been try to write it up for posting ever since. Some eight months later I still don’t have it finished, but I still plan to. So I don’t want to give too much away, but what we did was rent a house through Airbnb for three nights. We usually stayed in hotels but we wanted to have the freedom of a whole house to enjoy each other in. We planned to be naked almost all the time. My wife found aprons for us to wear so we could cook safely. We went out for one fancy dinner on the actual anniversary, but the rest of the time we mostly stayed in the house sans clothing. It was wonderful. This place had a hot tub on the back patio as well. We just enjoyed each other as much as and wherever we wanted. Oh, and as LovingMan mentioned, my wife told me beforehand that 30 years was pearls, so I promised her that I would be sure to give her a “pearl necklace” sometime during our stay. It was obviously said with lots of eyebrow wiggling ?.
Congratulations on 30 fun filled years, and may they keep getting more fun as you go!
Hmm, I'll have to check out AirBnB. I have a friend through church who rents out their MIL quarters, but I'm not sure hers is where I'd go for this kind of fun. ? On the other hand, why should I be embarrassed about it?
Oh, yes! I'd actually appreciate *that* kind of necklace even more!
My wife and I have done scavenger hunts leading up to a special night. I had prepared several stops for her including a mani pedi, outfit shopping, I got her to go the naughty store for a new toy, and then back home to prepare for date night. She had me one time go over town and pick up various food and drinks which she had prepaid for and then I met her at a hotel bar for a wonderful evening. Lots of fun and foreplay leading up to a wonder evening. Happy anniversary. If you live in the Midwest look up sybaris pool suites!
We usually head outdoors, weather permitting. Camping, or just 4-wheeling, but either way, we find an unpopulated spot, get naked, and go nuts on each other! Not just a quickie, and the intent is always orgasm after orgasm!
Oral is always involved. It is #1 with both of us. Cum play is also involved, which is a very big turn on for my wife, and that makes it a turn on for me!
Other things…..I remember one anniversary, where we both shaved. Talking the total hairless look for both of us. That made for a great afternoon & evening!
We have also sorted through our collection of explicit pictures, and watched our vids. Always turns out to be fun!
And, there have been some times where I bought her a new toy! Most often requires a team effort to test those things out.
We've stayed at fancy resorts, and at BnB's. Ridden old trains and taken tours, but we always remember who sucked what rather than the touristy stuff! LOL! 🙂
If you don’t mind sharing, expound on “cum play.”
Tulsa… I also am curious about your definition of cum play. For my wife and I… I guess it’s when I scoop out cum from her love tunnel right after filling it. Then I rub the fruit flavored protein shake on her nipples and feast on both her raspberries (hard nipples) and the shake! We use flavored lube & coconut oil so the mixture is actually rather delicious and terribly sexy. We also have tried chocolate flavored lube and vanilla flavored lube. All make for delicious protein shakes when churned in the internal mixer… WE are the mixer if ya know what I mean!
Just what it sounds like!
From, using cum for lube or lotion, to me doing oral on her after I've cum in her, or on her. Or, her doing oral on me after I've been in her. Or maybe a big wet sloppy kiss after a blow job, or cleaning up the mess on her nipples and tits, after a good titfuck, or mutually masturbating, and her tits are the target.
Yup! Just what it sounds like! What it always does, is makes us both horny for more sex, and more orgasms!
Maybe a bit kinky to some, but who cares!
New toy. New lingerie. Get rid of your gray hair. Trim up or go bare. Role play in hotel bar until you can’t resist. Get spouse out of her comfort zone. Hotel sex is always exciting. Someone said pearls. Great idea. Some very erotic uses of pearls btw. Google them. After 30 years novelty is sexy. Worship her body. Go for it.
Tulsa, thanks for answering my question. Your cum play sounds like fun to me! I agree with you that what you do sexually in your marriage is for you and your wife to decide. MH gives us good ideas of new things to try but not everything we read about in MH is something that will work for us. But I don’t judge other married couples because their sex life is for them to figure out together.
LM,
It was something that just turned on my wife…..a lot, so I just got comfortable with it, and expanded on it! Her too! Now, we are both experts!
What turns her on, turns me on! With any inhibitions gone, it works like an aphrodisiac!
And I agree 100%. Married couples need to figure out what works for THEM, and not be concerned if it’s popular or common with other couples. And , if they don’t try different things, or talk about them, they will never know what they may be missing out on!!

Hey, CrazyHappyLoved! I was reading some older stories on MH and came across at least one of the Pearls stories I had referred to in my previous comment. The one I referred to was posted on June 26, 2020. It’s an excellent Ignite story and it’s called “String Of Pearls.” I think today is the last day of Ignite so the story might not be there tomorrow.
Hey, MarriageHeat! Are you DELETING all the Ignite stories or leaving them on MH? I would hope that they would now become available to everyone.
[From MH: They won't be available on the site after today (or maybe May 4th; I have forgotten the exact date the platform service we pay for ends.) But we hope to offer the content in other formats for those who want to support MarriageHeat's existence financially. That may take the form of print and audiobooks, but we haven't gotten them set up yet.]
