A Bill to Celebrate The Make Marriage Great Again Act of 2025

A Bill to Celebrate: The Make Marriage Great Again Act of 2025 

A bill making its way through Congress is drawing praise from conservative and faith-based groups for its aim to protect and affirm marriage—not through rhetoric, but through tax code reform. 

House Bill 320, known as the Make Marriage Great Again Act of 2025, seeks to eliminate the long-criticized “marriage penalty” in federal tax law. If passed, the bill would ensure that married couples are not taxed at higher rates simply because they file jointly, by doubling the income thresholds used to determine tax brackets for individual filers. 

Practical Impact for Families 

If passed, this would mean that a married couple filing jointly, with each spouse earning $50,000, would be taxed at the same rate as a single individual earning $50,000. Such a change would serve families immensely by putting thousands of dollars back into their pockets every year. 

Though the economy is looking better, inflation is still a challenge. With potentially thousands of dollars returned to American households, this change could be life-altering—providing greater financial security for those who need it most. 

And the numbers are not insignificant. Often, when tax policies change, the return is pennies on the dollar—barely enough for families to notice. But this tax policy shift would undoubtedly be felt. 

A Biblical Case for Celebration 

For many Christians, this comes as a pleasant surprise, even if the bill is still in its infancy. The “marriage penalty,” widely viewed as unjust, has served as a disincentive for many couples considering marriage. Love knows no bounds—but taxes can certainly make one stop and think, and this tax has done just that. 

Christians do not view marriage as a tax strategy; they view it as an unbreakable and spiritual institution. Marriage is the foundation of society, and because of that, government action regarding the marriage tax code has historically been designed to benefit families—not to disincentivize them. 

A Cultural Signal Worth Noticing 

Voters across the nation have been vocal about legislation regarding marriage, but seldom is anything done—certainly not like what we’re seeing with the Make Marriage Great Again bill. The mere fact a legislator has introduced this, signals a shift in the right direction, particularly under the Trump administration, which in just six months has already shown strength for families in the tax code. 

While there has been mostly silence on this issue in recent years, greater awareness will bring greater support—especially from the church. With a plethora of pro-family actions already taken in 2025, there is no reason this bill should not gain traction in the public square in the near future. 

Looking Ahead 

Keeping an eye on this bill is a decision of prudence. Voters must track these meaningful proposals because, if passed, they will have a profound and positive impact on American families. 

The Make Marriage Great Again bill offers a rare opportunity for the law to affirm what truly matters: family. Laws that benefit families have long been a hallmark of American policy. This bill would be one step toward returning to a time when family was valued above all else. 

Call to Action 

You should call your Congressmember and ask them to support this bill once it comes to the floor for a vote. In the meantime, the church should be talking about this on social media and expressing their support for this bill, as it affirms the law we love most, God’s law.
