National Marriage Day 2010
Promoting a Renewed Culture of Marriage within our Nation
Volumes of research demonstrate beyond doubt the positive contribution that intact, stable marriages make to the wellbeing of children and society.
Our nation's future depends on restoring a strong culture of marriage. It is important therefore that as a nation we encourage couples to embrace the commitment of marriage and to support them throughout their married life. National Marriage Day was inaugurated to throw the spotlight on marriage and spread the news...
Marriage is good for you, good for children and good for society.
This year we are promoting two events,
- The National Marriage Day Dinner - Sydney, Thursday 12 Aug 2010
- Wearing of the Gold Rosette to show support for marriage on Friday 13 August 2010
Along with promoting marriage, selling rosettes can help your school or charity fund-raise. We can provide you with rosettes in boxes of 100 for you to sell for a modest profit. We aim to have 100,000 rosettes worn right across Australia on Friday 13 August 2010.

August 13 recalls the passing of the Marriage Amendment Act 2004, which defined marriage as;
"a union between one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life."
The passing of this act was primarily made possible through the efforts of many thousands of Australians being prepared to defend the foundation upon which our nation stands - the family based on marriage.
