                   RECOGNIZING NATIONAL MARRIAGE WEEK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. FRANK R. WOLF

                       Tuesday, February 7, 2012

  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize National Marriage 
Week, which begins today and concludes on Valentine's Day. I am a 
strong supporter of traditional marriage, which is the basis of the 
American family. The purpose of National Marriage Week is to encourage 
spouses to rededicate themselves to each other and towards 
strengthening their marriages. Strong marriages allow children to 
flourish and provide a safe structured environment for emotional, 
spiritual, personal and professional development.
  The family is the cornerstone of our society and I encourage all 
Americans to take this week to focus on their spouse and commit to 
strengthening their marriage.
