“National Singles Week” was started by the Buckeye Singles Council in Ohio in the 1980s to celebrate single life and recognize singles and their contributions to society. The week is now widely observed during the third full week of September (Sept. 17-23 in 2006) as “Unmarried and Single Americans Week,” an acknowledgment that many unmarried Americans do not identify with the word “single” because they are parents, have partners or are widowed.

**WHEN IS "NATIONAL MARRIED WEEK"????? I must have missed that one.

This is just stupid, but another in the multitude of ways our government goes out of its way to appease those who don't want to live a traditional lifestyle........Which does nothing but undermine American society as a whole.**
