National Wedding Week begins on Friday and takes place throughout Valentine's Day. In a society that often teases the marriage system, this week is designed to change negative narratives and celebrate marriage instead.
Most people want to get married, but research shows they are worried that their relationship will not last. They think marriage is difficult. And why not do that? That is the message that society sends them.
This belief has led to increased hesitations about marriage. In 1980, 90% of 35-year-old men got married. Today, the number has dropped to just 60%, according to the Family Research Institute.

But most of us love love and deeply desire to be loved. Most of us want a family and a safe and healthy home. So how do you get there?
What is the secret to a happy marriage? One simple word
When stress, anxiety and division seem to dominate American culture, people need to want something positive and hopeful. Our home life affects everything we do, everything we go anywhere, from work to emotional well-being.
A strong and loving marriage creates stability not only for the couple, but for the children, the work environment and the entire community. When marriage is loving and stable, family becomes a source of joy and strength. It creates a society that is not only healthier, but more compassionate, more compassionate and better capable to deal with life challenges.

National Marriage Week spokesman Arlene Pellicane has released a book that speaks directly to the issue. Her book, “Marriage is easier and like (and like) your spouse for your spouse” began on February 4th. Pericane says that if a couple prioritizes four intentional goals, they can build a happier and stronger marriage. A focus on positive and practical steps can lead to a fulfilling and enjoyable relationship.
We thought our marriage was great except for one intimate thing. I was all wrong. Here's how we fixed it
So what are these four simple goals?
I'll play by rules
What is your goal as a couple? Do you prioritize churches together on Sundays? Do you avoid intimate friendships with the opposite sex? Do you sit as a family for dinner every night? Establish and agree to clear priorities and boundaries together.
I'm grateful every day
Be grateful to each other and express it! Find something to be grateful for about your spouse and say it out loud. Every spouse wants to feel appreciated and appreciated.
I will serve each other
Will they shift your way of thinking from what they can do for me? What can I do for them? Thoughtful Gestures – Strengthen your bonds, big and small. And when both partners serve each other, they feel more connected, respected and valued.
Using this 90s style blueprint, I found true love and a happy marriage. It also works for you
Have fun and enjoy
Fun things are what united you in the first place! Laughter and shared experiences are essential for a growing and healthy marriage. Don't dull your sense of playfulness for years. It's as easy as making heart-shaped pancakes and trying out new hobbies like drawing together. A struggling couple often doesn't enjoy themselves together.
Marriage requires effort, just like it is worth it. All couples face ups and downs. But imagine a country full of stronger and happier marriages. Imagine a home where children feel safe and secure and where their parents know they won't go anywhere.
Working can increase happiness by 50% and above-average income by 88%, according to a study by economists David G. Blanchflower and Andrew J. Oswald (Journal of Public Economics). But marriage? Increases happiness by 151% compared to not getting married.
