Calling the church

We have a vision of marriages across our nation being strengthened. How great it would be to see every church across the nation have an active marriage ministry meeting the needs within its membership and the wider community. The local church are uniquely suited to serve the relational and spiritual needs of its community.

Ideally, every church could plan and provide for:

  • relationship, courtship and dating seminars,
  • marriage preparation courses,
  • marriage enrichment courses and small groups,
  • parenting instruction.

Marriage Week seeks to see marriages transformed across the nation.

International Marriage Week

Welcome to Marriage Week in Australia

Marriage Week is a great time to reassess marriage. A time to see that it is more than a piece of paper, a word, or a contract. Marriage is a relational institution that makes two people one entity - a great team.

Our marriages are not private matters. Our children, gain emotional security and a myriad of benefits from our marriage, our love and union. Our marriages matter to our extended family. They matter to our employers. They matter to society. They are the fabric that holds families together. On average married people live longer and have good relationships with their children; families enjoy better physical health, married men earn more money. Wow, that puts a lot of weight on marriage!

So, do something for your marriage in this week in September, come to think of it why wait - do it now! Write a letter of thanks or praise to show your love for your spouse. Buy them a special gift, it does not have to be large or expensive.

Week commencing 12th September 2010 there will be special events happening across Australia:

  • you will be able to re-affirm your vows with other couples doing the same thing
  • you will be able to take your spouse out to "The Marriage Party" and celebrate your marriage and also learn how you can become champions in marriage.
  • and much more

From 2009

"I always listen to Hope when I drive and I have been listening to some of the stuff about marriage.

I just wanted to let you know that through the topics, God convicted me to change, to be a better wife. So I have been praying to be the wife who is gentle in spirit. When my husband and I got married, we were both unbelievers. I have since committed my life to Christ, but my husband hasn’t. I have always struggled with being a good witness to him. During your broadcast for marriage week, I have been convicted that I need to change if my husband is to see Christ in me. I can say that I am certainly not gentle in spirit. I have decided with the help of the Holy Spirit to try and be the wife that God would have me be.

Just wanted to let you know that it has helped me and I am sure it has helped others too. Thank you very much and God bless. "
