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 a "Celebration Dinner" and celebrate your marriage and also learn how you can become champions in marriage.
- and much more
