What Is Marriage Week?

A Legacy Worth Celebrating

Great marriages are not found; they are built with intention, weathered with grace, and cherished as a living legacy. National Marriage Week New Zealand (MWNZ) exists to honour this enduring journey. It’s an annual invitation to couples across the nation to pause, reflect, and invest in the strength of their union.

Marriage is more than a moment; it is a journey of shared history and future hope. 

We believe that healthy marriages form the bedrock of a flourishing society. Our mission is to provide expert guidance and a supportive community where the tradition of marriage is both protected and celebrated. Whether you are in your first year or your fiftieth, MWNZ offers the wisdom and inspiration to help your relationship thrive for generations to come.

National Relationship Survey

We have created this survey to better understand the real challenges people in New Zealand experience when it comes to relationships and family life.

Relationships can be difficult in many different ways, and everyone’s experience is unique. By gathering these insights, we hope to better understand which areas are most challenging and whether there are shared experiences across our communities.

This survey is designed for people who are in a relationship, or have been in a relationship in the past.

All responses are completely anonymous and confidential.

The survey should take approximately 7 minutes to complete.
