National Marriage Week
Timed to coincide with Valentine’s Day on February 14th, this can be a good opportunity to focus on married life, with perhaps:
- a pub supper for couples (with some discussion starter questions on their places);
- a group evening with video clips and opportunity for reflection;
- a teaching course on developing communication skills or romance;
- Sunday prayers, preaching, and an opportunity to renew marriage vows.

Other occasions for planning special family events might be:
- Mothering Sunday in Lent
- Father’s Day in June
- Parents’ Week in the October half-term (a new idea, but why not try!)
