Wedding Anniversary Congratulations

Am I the only one who sees the phrase "congratulations on your wedding anniversary" as an insult?

Why the congratulations? Are you saying that it must have been a chore for me to last this long with my spouse, and that I deserve congratulations for the effort rather than doing the easy thing and breaking up with them? Or are you saying that we're so old that it's incredible we're still alive to celebrate it? What are you trying to tell me? And can you please stop being so patronising?
