The observances of National Marriage Week (February 7-14) and World Marriage Day (Sunday, February 8) are an opportunity to focus on building a culture of life and love that begins with supporting and promoting marriage and the family. Our theme for 2026 is “Man and Woman He Created Them: Together with Purpose.”

Prayer for Married Couples Almighty and eternal God, You blessed the union of married couples so that they might reflect the union of Christ with his Church: look with kindness on them. Renew their marriage covenant, increase your love in them, and strengthen their bond of peace so that, with their children, they may always rejoice in the gift of your blessing. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
