About Us

Championing marriage as the foundation of family and society

Marriage

Our Mission

At the Coalition for Marriage, our mission is clear: to affirm, protect, and promote the timeless definition of marriage as the voluntary, lifelong union of one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others.

We believe this definition is not only rooted tradition, but is proven, time and again, to be the foundation of stable families, strong communities and a flourishing society.

Marriage matters. In a culture where its meaning is being diluted or dismissed, we stand firm, not with hostility, but with conviction, evidence and respect.
