“In terms of the impact that family breakdown is having on society, nobody - and I emphasise that - nobody has the experience that the family judiciary have."

Sixth National Relationships Education Conference

13-Feb-2012

Paul Coleridge chaired the Sixth National Relationship Conference at the Royal Society of Medicine in London on February 9th.

The launch of The Marriage Foundation is rooted in the vision and concern of Paul Coleridge. He was appointed a High Court judge in 2000 after 30 years as a family law specialist barrister. He deals with complex cases of family break up, especially those which involve children. Paul Coleridge has been outspoken on this issue for some time, receiving widespread media coverage and rising levels of public interest and support. For example, in its leading article for January 3, 2012 The Times commented: “His aim of strengthening the institution at the heart of personal relationships and the raising of children in love, stability and security is surely to be applauded.”

Send us 50 Words on Marriage

We are asking visitors to our website to write from their own experience just 50 words about marriage. It could be your reflections on why you support marriage, the joys or nature of marriage, difficulties you have overcome, or even the pain of not doing so. The statistics are well known: the words of people such as yourself will, we hope, put flesh on the bone and spark a richer debate when we share your thoughts with others through this website.

"A NATIONAL TRUST, IN THE TRUE SENSE"

Paul Coleridge, speaking at the launch of the Marriage Foundation at Middle Temple Hall on May 1, said:

"Our biggest problem when promoting marriage in general and this Foundation in particular is one of presentation. Let me say, for the umpteenth time: This is not going to be a cosy club for the smug and self satisfied of middle England but, we hope, the start of a national movement with the aim of changing attitudes across the board from the very top to the bottom of society, and thus improve the lives of us all, especially children. A national trust, in the true sense."
