Keep Marriage Visible Campaign tells Facebook, My Spouse Exists!

In a society where infidelity and a moral disregard for marriage is running rampant and the media has jumped the gun on reporting that marriage is obsolete, the Keep Marriage Visible Campaign is saying, "MY SPOUSE EXISTS!"

Jan. 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Facebook's new profile structure currently does not allow a spouse who is a Facebook user to link anywhere that is visible on their profile a spouse who is a non-Facebook user. The "old" profile at least allowed you to prominently state that you were "MARRIED" on your profile for the world to see. The Keep Marriage Visible Campaign is campaigning for Facebook to change this glitch in their system and allow any spouse to be listed at the top of the profile in the same manner in which other family members are able to be listed in the sidebar--whether they are a Facebook user or not. Our solution is simple: Allow users to include the name of their spouse, but provide no click through link if the spouse is not on Facebook.

Linda Dominique and her husband Calvin Holland and teach people to love better on a daily basis via their websites: http://www.LoveBetterCamp.com and http://www.ThePluralThing.com. She shares daily relationship tips via her Facebook page. She says, "For us it doesn’t matter what the CNN, The New York Times or TIME Magazine says about marriage being obsolete. In our eyes marriage still matters. It was created by God to be the ultimate union, a covenant revered by Him that no one should interfere with--not even FACEBOOK."

Critics have shared that allowing a link or text space for non-Facebook users would incite abuse, however, Grosvenor who launched the campaign in January, 2011 says, "I'm not so interested in the abuse or people who want to claim they're married to their jobs, pets or the hottest celebrity, what I'm more interested in is that even if you're single right now (just like the right to vote) we should all have the right to proudly state one day 'I'm Married,' on our profiles one day, and the idea of 'what ifs' or possible abuse shouldn't negate that right."

In an article titled, "Marriage Works and What You and the Media Can Do to Help It," Grosvenor wrote, "Marriage works, but if we don’t start teaching our young children, adults and the media to honor and cherish the richness and sanctity of marriage (even in the little things) we will end up with a nation of emotional vagabonds who selfishly think nothing of infringing upon the marriage of someone else via email, text message or social networks like Facebook because they have been conditioned by society to believe that marriage has no real value and so they willingly desecrate it."

There are a lot of things Facebook users can support out there and the LIKE button has become extremely popular, however, the Keep Marriage Visible Campaign is urging single and married Facebook users to "LIKE" their campaign page and invite their friends to "LIKE" the Keep Marriage Visible Campaign Page too, to show the world that marriage is still sacred and an indelibly etched part of our culture. On the campaign page you can upload wedding photos or photos of you and your significant other and share/link pro-marriage related articles. The Keep Marriage Visible Campaign shares that they will continue to tackle other issues beyond Facebook that interferes with the marriage covenant and demand reasonable solutions.
