Question
What is President Bush’s $1.5 billion marriage initiative?
Answer
The President has proposed dedicating $200 million per year in federal funds that would match with $100 million per year in state funds (for a total of $1.5 billion over 5 years) to help couples who have already chosen marriage for themselves access marriage education services, on a voluntary basis, so that they can develop the skills and knowledge necessary to form and sustain healthy marriages.
