Every year, National Marriage Week is February 7-14 and World Marriage Day is the second Sunday of February. In 2025, our Diocese of Orange is undertaking a special project, inspired by the California Bishops’ Radiate Love Initiative and the Vatican document “Catechumenal Pathways for Married Life.”

About National Marriage Week and World Marriage Day
Every year, National Marriage Week is February 7-14 and World Marriage Day is the second Sunday of February.
National Marriage Week coincides with the week leading up to Valentine’s Day, making it the perfect time to celebrate the joys and virtues that marriage brings into our lives. Research consistently demonstrates that married couples experience great health, financial stability, and personal happiness. Moreover, it provides the best environment for raising children, offering them a better chance at life.
Join National Marriage Week in celebrating love beyond words and creating a lasting impact on the institution of marriage. For more information and to get involved, visit www.MarriageWeek.org. The US Bishops also provide Catholic resources for marriage and National Marriage Week at foryourmarriage.org.
The Diocese of Orange Office for Family Life offers many resources for married couples to help enrich and strengthen your marriage. Please check out our marriage enrichment webpage to see what is available. You can also sign up for our Diocese of Orange Marriage Formation Newsletter delivered quarterly to your email!
