DESCRIPTION:

World Marriage Day originated in Baton Rouge during the winter of 1981. It was created by conservative groups alarmed at escalating divorce rates and other interpretations of marriage. They successfully petitioned the Mayor, state Governor and Catholic Bishop to proclaim St. Valentines Day as "We Believe in Marriage Day," specifying marriage exists solely between a man and woman. Marriage is one of the seven holy sacraments in Christianity.

By 1982, 43 State Governors officially proclaimed the day, and celebrations spread to U.S. military bases in several foreign countries. In 1983, We Believe in Marriage Day was changed to "World Marriage Day," celebrated globally on the second Sunday in February.

In 1993, Pope John Paul II's Holiness imparted his Apostolic Blessings on World Marriage Day. WMD celebrations continue growing and spreading to more countries and faith expressions yearly.

Though the event originated with Christians, it is recognized worldwide by people of all faiths. With the increasing approval of homosexual unions, it now includes non-traditional married couples in nations where such marriages are legal.
