About Us

Why Marriage Matters is a national public education campaign designed to share stories and foster conversation about the love and commitment that forms the basis for marriage.
Why Marriage Matters is a project of Freedom to Marry, in partnership with state-based groups and other national organizations.
Freedom to Marry is the campaign to win marriage nationwide. We partner with individuals and organizations across the country to end the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage and the protections, responsibilities, and commitment that marriage brings.
