Helping marriages? Get news coverage for yourself.
Here's an exciting and simple idea to get visibility for your own efforts and help people in your town!
1) If you know a terrific marriage educator or a talented local pastor, ask them to give an evening talk on "How to Have a Better Marriage" at a local YMCA, library, church facility, or town hall on either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night of Feb. 7, 8, or 9th in 2014 -- great nights during National Marriage Week USA to help folks improve their marriages in advance of Valentine's Day. At the event, you can also give couples date night tips so their Valentine's Day will be a good one! Or show a video series if you don't know a talented local speaker. See our website for tips: www.nationalmarriageweekusa.org
2) You can get newspaper and radio coverage! Simply send your local media outlets our sample press release (customize it with your info) and radio Public Service Announcements (PSAs). Also make posters for your February event, using our NMW logo -- get them all at http://www.nationalmarriageweekusa.org/free-campaign-materials.
3) Please ask your friends to LIKE us on Facebook! It posts important news bits such as this week's "New Research shows married couples have FOUR times the wealth of those never married." Click here for that info and LIKE our page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/National-Marriage-Week-USA/191520197543448
4) Be sure to POST for FREE any marriage classes or events you know about, any time of year on the only collaborative national marriage calendar that exists at http://www.nationalmarriageweekusa.org/submitanevent/form/3-submit-an-event
Turning around the decline of marriage will take all of us! We need you reaching out at the local level so that we can do our part at the national level! National Marriage Week USA was recently featured on major national radio -- on the Colson Center's "BreakPoint" and "At Home with Jim and Joy Pinto" (EWTN National Catholic Radio). You can see our recent news coverage here: http://www.nationalmarriageweekusa.org/news-room
