This year National Marriage Week is celebrated in the United States from February 7-14.

The idea to celebrate National Marriage Week’s originated with a group of couples who made the World Marriage Weekend in Louisiana in 1983, and later established the International Marriage Week. This is a collaborative campaign to strengthen individual marriages, reduce the divorce rate, and build a stronger marriage culture, which in turn helps curtail poverty and benefits children. Marriage works. It makes people happier, live longer, and build more economic security. Children with married parents perform better in school.

One More Soul joins this collaborative to celebrate the blessing of marriage and to support engaged and married couples.
