The House of Representatives acknowledge the institution of marriage as a healthy and stabilizing force for good in society and recognize February 7–14, 2025, as National Marriage Week.
As you know, this website is titled Married in Arkansas. I want to share information about being married as much as I can. Our regular session for 2025 is in session. I found a bill that was introduced, red and adopted, and is a do pass. The bill number is HR1006, and it is to recognize February 7th to the 14th as National Marriage Week. So hooray! We get a whole week to celebrate marriage.
It states that marriage is the foundational relationship for all of society. Good marriages are the bedrock of strong societies and strong families.
Based on academic research, married people tend to have healthier lifestyles and longer life expectancy. They also have more wealth and economic assets. Healthy marriages decrease crime, domestic violence, abuse, poverty, juvenile delinquency, and suicide risk. The research suggests that children raised by both parents have better educational outcomes. They are more likely to obtain college degrees. These children do better academically and emotionally.
