Marriage Foundation Information

Marriage Foundation is a national charity, launched in 2012 in response to the epidemic levels of family breakdown. Here, we explain our purpose, vision, what we do and why we need a national champion for marriage. Our Purpose To be a powerful independent voice restoring confidence in marriage. Using the best and latest research, we advocate the advantages of marriage; challenge the social injustices of family breakdown; demonstrate that marriage is both modern and the best arrangement for all couples Our Vision To see the aspiration of a life-long, fulfilling marriage as an attainable goal for all, especially our young people; to see a society that thrives because stable marriage (or formal commitment) becomes the first choice for all couples; to halt the current declining marriage rate because marriage is the single most effective key to reducing family breakdown What do we do? Marriage Foundation confronts and challenges the status quo. By undertaking, publishing and broadcasting ground breaking research we heighten public, media and government awareness and understanding of the scale of the national tragedy of family breakdown and its causes. Through collaboration and partnering with a wide range of like-minded organisations we advocate effective remedies and signpost people to them. We coordinate national projects.
