This week, the week of 7-14 February, is being celebrated as National Marriage Week USA, and World Marriage Day, which is commemorated on the second Sunday of February, will be celebrated on Sunday, 13 February. These celebrations provide an opportunity for the Catholic Church to focus on and celebrate the vocation to marriage and family life.
The theme for this year's celebration of National Marriage Week is "Called to the Joy of Love," which is designed to hearken to the new National Pastoral Framework for Marriage and Family Life Ministry that was approved by the U.S. bishops in June 2021. It was chosen to highlight the many ways that married couples and families are accompanied by the Church to live out the call of love.
National Marriage Week USA, launched in 2010, is part of an international event seeking to mobilize individuals, organizations, and businesses in a common purpose to strengthen marriage in communities and influence the culture. World Marriage Day was started in 1983 by Worldwide Marriage Encounter.
