Yes, most people have a rough first year. Lots of transition. It is not that uncommon.

Yes, I'd celebrate (and I did) because the first year is usually rough. Couples are trying to know each others ways in a new way (committed) and bringing in beliefs from each family. Until these differences are looked at, and new ones combined for the new couple, it is a difficult time period. But it doesn't mean you weren't married, which the anniversary date marks. Don't skip an anniversary just because the year was not good...you could easily be married 10 years and only have 5 years of bliss...would you only think you were married 5 years? But I get your point, and well taken...it is hard, but celebrate anyway. If for no other reason than the two of you have survived the year.! Success for the rest of your life.

You definitely should celebrate!! You made it through those rough times and that's shows strength in a marriage. Celebrate, Make Up, Love Each Other, and be prepared for the next rough patch, because life happens. smile :) congratulations on making it through the first year and good luck

Even though i have had a shitty 3 year marriage i still found the love somewhere deep inside to enjoy our anniversary. theres an obvious reason why your still with him/her right? Use that reason as a light celebrate the good and for the sake of a new year forget all the crap (unless its abuse) and start a new leaf with him/her things usually role better when people learn to forgive and forget and not stay sour that will only cause a 2nd rough year of marriage. Believe me. :-) - Luck!

Are you kidding? Don't just celebrate it, make it an amazing event! You made it through a hard & realistic year! That's what marriage is all about, good times & bad - you grasp them all & muttle thru it! So yes, make sure you find a way to remind you both why you love each other/got married in the first place! Have FUN! (Hey, I'm working on year 15 - hang in there!!)

Yes, they say that the first five years of marriage are the hardest. It may be what the two of you need to make it through this rough patch.

Of course.
You made it to the first year mark and that is something to celebrate....especially since you have made it through rough times.

yes, when you look back 5, 10, 25 years from now you will have felt silly not to celebrate. Sometimes we have bad years instead of bad days, celebrate unless you are looking at divorcing

Of course you should. The first year or two of marriage is usually the hardest. Make the most of it. Congradulations for making it through the first year. Be thankful you made it through the 1st year.

Yes, the first year is rough but it's a milestone. It will help you put things in perspective and move forward.
