Korea: Married Couples' Day

It is good that Korea is taking a constructive effort to celebrate marriage. May 21 has been designated as married couples' day. The Korean Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs on 24th April 2007 declared May 21 as the day to celebrate marriage - the root of family.


It states that "Modern Society is suffering from broken families because of divorce. It is important to celebrate marriages as it is a big part in not only an individual's life, but also in society.


The date is fixed by law and the date 21 stands for "two (2) become one (1)."
