The observances of National Marriage Week (Feb. 7-14) and World Marriage Day (Sunday, Feb. 8) are an opportunity to focus on building a culture of life and love that begins with supporting and promoting marriage and the family. We must prioritize this sacred celebration of love and emphasize the beauty of building a strong and dedicated life together. This year's (2026) theme from National Marriage Week USA is "Together with a Purpose".
The US Bishops (USCCB) theme is: "Man and Woman, He Created Them: Together with Purpose!" This theme honors the unique gifts of men and women, and how these gifts are expressed in a spirit of complementarity. We see men and women today lacking a sense of purpose, both in their personal lives and in relationships. This sacred week will honor the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation “Amoris Laetitia" - The Joy of Love.
Let’s Celebrate Marriage!
