NMC Aims and Objectives

There is much that the National Marriage Coalition would like to see achieved in Australia. 

The following are some of the objectives the NMC will be working toward:

·         Increased marriage education and promotion in our school system.

·         More funding for pre-marital, marital and pre-divorce counselling and education.

·         Expanded financial help for married couples.

·         A removal of the disincentives (financial and otherwise) to marriage.

·         Government and non-government promotion and elevation of marriage.

·         The affirmation of marriage as being between one man and one woman.

·         The establishment of state and federal marriage and family impact statements on all new legislation.

·         Advertising and education programs designed to highlight the benefits of marriage.

·         An increase in the proportion of children born into married families.

·         A reduction in unmarried pregnancy.

·         A reduction in unnecessary divorce.

·         A reduction and prevention of violence and excessive conflict in marriages.

·         Removal of disincentives (financial and otherwise) for married couples to have children

·         The reinforcement and promotion of the social good of marriage.

·         Emphasis on marriage in our sex education programs.

These and other aims will be worked on by the NMC in the future to ensure that marriage remains a bedrock institution in Australian life.
