Standing ovation to the governor of Alabama who has declared February as Marriage Month. And why not? We celebrate Valentine’s Day on the 14th why not include a celebration of the life-giving love of marriage. Study after study have shown the many benefits of a healthy marriage for couples, children, and the community.
I intend to celebrate my marriage in a special way during the month to participate in the grass roots marriage renaissance that is quietly sweeping across the nation. I can think of a host of other ways to celebrate marriage outside the doors of my home–like send my married neighbors a card congratulating them on their unions and reminding them of the gift their marriage is to our community…talk with my preteen daughter about the important task of adequate preparation for marriage, and of course pray for the marriages in my neighborhood and the community of my town. What can you do?
