Black Marriage Day: Sunday, March 30, 2008

The following is from the Wedded Bliss Foundation website:

Welcome to Wedded Bliss Foundation a national initiative to promote marriage in the Black community. Our number one program is Black Marriage Day, the fourth Sunday in March every year. Join Wedded Bliss Foundation, Inc., as we organize churches, community groups, families and couples in celebration of Black Marriage Day, March 30, 2008. We are urging churches and community groups everywhere to mobilize couples to demonstrate their support for marriage by renewing their marriage vows in a national celebration of marriage as a key building block of family, community and our nation. Wedded Bliss Foundation’s goal is to have 5,000 couples across the country renew their wedding vows on Black Marriage Day, March 30, 2008, with the theme: Getting Married is Good; Staying Married is Better; a Healthy Marriage is Best. To increase couples chances of staying together we are asking organizations to offer free marriage education classes during March 2008 to celebrate marriage in the Black community.
