Dr. Gary Chapman, Ph.D.

"I am excited about the efforts of National Marriage Week to pull together business, government, and religious organizations to draw attention to solutions to the current problems created by divorce. If we can help couples learn how to create loving, supportive marriages, it will not only bring marital satisfaction, but will enrich the lives of children, and create a more productive society. Every couple can contribute to the solution. It begins by reading books, attending classes, and having productive communication with your own spouse. National Marriage Week USA offers multiple resources to help you."
