This year's motto of the event series: "in constant renewal".
The Marriage Week program series begins on Sunday, within the framework of which the organizing Christian churches and civil organizations draw attention to the values of marriage and the family with nearly 200 programs in more than 50 settlements.
At the events of the series of events, the organizers walk around how couples can "in today's extremely changing environment, pay attention to each other, develop together, renew their marriage, find new common goals, adapt to new life situations in cooperation with each other".
Kornél Herjeczki, national coordinator of the Marriage Week movement and director of Harmat Kiadó, said: with the movement, the organizers want to give impulse and encouragement to couples to take an active, proactive role in renewing their relationship.
This year's marriage week aims not only to appeal to young couples, but also to conscious activity for those who are faced with completely new challenges of the second half of their marriage, for example, they have to create new goals and a new way of life after their children "fly out".
