The annual observance of National Marriage Week in the United States encourages a conversation on how strong marriages promote and sustain strong societies by curtailing poverty and benefiting children. Here are some resources that can help you celebrate marriage this year. * Take a look at our Daily Marriage Tips. Maybe you’ll find a new idea to strengthen your relationship. * Find more resources on the USCCB National Marriage Week page, including a preaching resource for clergy and a bulletin insert for your parish. * Listen to the brand new podcast series “Made for Love” at the USCCB Marriage Unique for a Reason website. * Visit the website of Worldwide Marriage Encounter, which provides numerous resources for celebrating World Marriage Day. * 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. * Enter our online contest on the For Your Marriage Facebook page. * Spend a little dedicated time in prayer and reflection by participating in our seven-day virtual retreat focused on marriage.
