- EventsMarriage Week events will be different everywhere, it just depends upon who is organising it. So it maybe a quiz night with a particular theme at the local pub or it maybe a Renewal of Vows service in a church. They key components are that it is fun, honours married couples and has some skill based content. Very often Most events take place in local churches -, because clearly Christians are interested in this as a as a subject, but also some of the best skilled based programmes have originated in Church based enterprises’. In 2011 events included Valentines Dinners with an after dinner speaker or comedian, Renewal of Vows services, communication workshops and many other types of event. Last year a total of 664,000 people attended a Marriage Week event worldwide –why not join us in celebrating marriage this year?

- DonateMarriage is a hugely important issue in our nation. Most people don’t even think about it as a topic, and that’s probably why breakdown is rising in all it’s forms. During a recent radio interview for Five Live, the presenter asked; “what is the greatest challenge facing couples in 2011?”. The answer was of course “ignorance”! Couples clearly want their relationships to work, they just forget how to make it work. Our job is to remind the nation; “If you are fortunate to be in a marriage – you should look after it, and hre are some resources to help you do that”. It takes a great deal of time and effort to set up Marriage Week each year and to be available for and carry out media interviews all year round. We are a fully registered charity called The Future Way Trust, we have independently inspected accounts and we run a pretty lean ship. We are however, still entirely reliant upon the regular £20 per month type of gift aided donations from individuals, and so any contribution you can make is much appreciated. If you are organising an event in your church or community why not donate one pound for each person who comes along? Finally, for your support, Thank you. Click here to make a donation…
