Products such as handbooks, brochures, and advertisements are important tools for healthy marriage initiatives as they inform target populations about the availability of services, provide quick information and helpful tips, and raise awareness about supporting healthy marriage as a public goal and investment.
Marriage and relationship handbooks are often created to provide quick information about what to expect in a marriage and offer practical information for how to have a healthy marriage. They are sometimes provided to couples during the obtaining of a marriage license. Recently, these resources are being tailored to meet the needs of un-married couples that may be interested in marriage or that have children together.
Brochures are often designed to provide an overview of a particular service offering, describe the focus and mission of a healthy marriage initiative, or offer quick tips and access to information.
Used as part of media or public service campaigns, these materials are designed to raise awareness about healthy marriage, advertise a local program, or serve as reminders for local marriage celebrations.
