A resolution filed Wednesday would recognize February 7 – 14 as “National Marriage Week” in Arkansas.

H.R. 1006 by Rep. David Ray notes how marriage is the foundation of strong families and strong societies.

The measure also points out that healthy marriages improve people’s emotional, physical, and financial well-being.

We have written before about how marriage is the “unsung hero” against poverty.

Married couples report more satisfaction across the board than unmarried couples, and marriage is broadly connected with better health and wellbeing. 

With that in mind, it’s good for the State of Arkansas to recognize and celebrate marriage.
