"If you're fortunate enough to be in a marriage, you should look after it." - Richard Kane, Founder, Marriage Week
Our 2026 theme is coming soon! Stay tuned.
Why Marriage Matters
"...We should provide the facts about the importance of marriage as a matter of child welfare and economic aspiration. As a society, we have launched highly effective public education campaigns on much less momentous issues, from smoking to recycling... For now, the decline of marriage is our most ignored national crisis..." -- TIME Magazine.
"The Brookings Institution says that if we had the marriage rate today that we had in 1970, there would be a 25 percent drop in poverty. The Heritage Foundation says that marriage drops the probability of a child living in poverty by 82 percent.” -- FoxNews
"National Marriage Week presents a chance to focus on rebuilding a culture of marriage for this generation."
-- NEWSWEEK magazine
