Why ruby for year 40

Rubies are second only to diamonds in hardness. Forty years in, a marriage that survived raising kids, retirement planning, and the inevitable hard seasons has earned a stone that doesn't scratch. The deep-red color also represents enduring passion — fitting for a couple still choosing each other.
