National Marriage Week (Feb. 7-14) is a great time to catch the spirit and support marriage. This annual celebration encourages diverse groups to strengthen individual marriages, reduce the divorce rate, and build a stronger marriage culture, which in turn helps curtail poverty and benefits children. Here are some resources that can help.
- The website for National Marriage Week offers helpful ideas for building up your own marriage, recommended reading, supporting marriage in the community and much more. There’s also a listing of marriage-building events throughout the country.
- We’re hosting a giveaway through our For Your Marriage Facebook page. Share your best tips for marriage and enter to win our daily drawing from February 7 to February 14. Click on the “Events” tab to submit your tip.
- If attending events isn’t possible, spending a little dedicated time in prayer and reflection can be simple but profound way to celebrate marriage. Below are links to a seven-day virtual retreat focused on marriage. Each day of the retreat can be accessed through the links below.

Day 2: Marriage Is the Unique Union of a Man and a Woman
Day 3: Marriage Is a Communion of Love and Life
