Sample Partner Outreach Letter

Dear (insert Organization contact name):

Infidelity affects at least sixty and as many as eighty percent of the marriages in the US. Most of us aren’t aware of the risk factors for infidelity, such as little time together as a couple and a habit of conflict avoidance. We have even less of an understanding of what to do when it is our own marriage and family caught in the tragedy of an affair. Worse yet, our media glamorizes infidelity as a ‘love story’ with attention and celebration given to celebrities who move from one partner to another leaving a trail of broken vows and families in their wake.

(Insert your Organization name) wants to be a part of changing this disturbing reality by bringing Marriage Fidelity Day—a grassroots initiative to celebrate faithfulness to our marital vows and to raise public awareness about infidelity —to our community. I am writing to invite you to become a local partner to join us in this effort.

Marriage Fidelity Day features a gentle warrior carrying a banner as the national symbol reminding us to take a stand for our marriage and against the myth of affairs as love stories. The single rider reminds us that each of us is only one voice, and that as one by one we join this cause we can effect change across the nation.

Marriage Fidelity Day is sponsored by SYMC Global Village a non profit corporation dedicated to marriage advocacy around the world. It is reaching couples and individuals through grassroots partnerships in community and faith settings around the country.

This national initiative is building awareness of the risks leading to infidelity and ways to avoid them. It is reaching families and couples with a message of celebration regarding marriage and fidelity. It celebrates not only those who have remained faithful but those who have not and who have found the immense inner strength to end an affair and heal their marriages. The people behind these quiet stories are the unsung heroes of our society.

(Insert your Organization's name) is asking (insert partner's Organization name) to partner with us to support and organize a local event and presentation to promote the important message of Marriage Fidelity Day initiative.

(Insert a paragraph describing your local event.)

(You may insert one of the following paragraphs suggesting appropriate partnership ideas or use one of your own ideas):

As a Faith Community, Marriage Fidelity Day presents a fabulous opportunity to bring the sacred commitment of marriage front and center. This is a day to celebrate couples who have been married for 1, 5, 10, 20 and more years. It’s a perfect opportunity to plan a ceremony for the renewal of wedding vows and to show your support for the married couples in your community.

As a Therapist, you see daily the tragedy of infidelity and the pain it causes to everyone involved. Consider making these Marriage Fidelity Day fact sheets available to your clients: Marriage Fidelity Health Check, 10 Guidelines for Protecting Your Marriage, and Is My Spouse Cheating- 10 Red Flags.

As a Civic Group or local business, show your support of marriage and family by contributing to an event in our community in celebration of marriage and family. An ice cream social or apple pie fest is a great way to bring families together for a evening of fun and connectedness.

As a Marriage Advocacy Organization, host a Marriage Fidelity Day event in our community. Use your newsletter or mailing list to spread the word about Marriage Fidelity Day to the larger marriage community. Consider speaking at a local faith community or civic group about the many benefits of strong marriages to our society.

Please consider joining as a local partner and help us expand Marriage Fidelity Day’s initiative to celebrate fidelity to our marriage vows and to take a stand against the portrayal of affairs as love stories. Please visit the Marriage Fidelity Day web page for more information at www.marriagefidelityday.org.

I will be contacting you soon to discuss your interest in participating and partnering with our organization to implement campaign outreach activities. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Sincerely,
