Just in time for Valentine's Day, the Utah Marriage Commission (UMC) is recognizing National Marriage Week, February 7 to 14, 2026.
We talked with Commission Chairman Bruce Hough about the activities and resources available to Utahns.
The Commission collaborates with educators and community partners to provide Utah residents with no-cost, evidence-based resources that strengthen marriages through education, relationship skills, and family well-being
He says Governor Spencer Cox will issue a Proclamation in recognition of National Marriage Week.
There's also a search for Utah's longest-married couple. The winning couple will receive a 30-minute interview documentary. You can nominate yourself or others here.
You may also see billboards going up to raise awareness of UMC resources which include e-courses, podcasts, webinars, blogs, YouTube videos, online programs and downloadable guidebooks.
Hough says, ""The research is clear. Strong marriages contribute to stronger communities and a healthier society."
