How can I receive the Blessing?
The Blessing is open to people of all races, nations and religions.
For married couples, it simply requires understanding and affirming the Blessing vows. For betrothed couples and singles, virginity is required. For those who are not virgins, sexual abstinence is required from the time of Blessing application until the Blessing. Qualified singles may apply for Reverend and Mrs. Moon’s selection of spouse. Others may make arrangements for betrothal through their own families or religious communities.
The Reverend and Mrs. Moon officiated a global Blessing of 30,000 Couples in 1992, 360,000 Couples in 1995, 40 million Couples in 1997, and 120 million Couples in June 1998.
The Blessing is a universal experience for those of all races, nations and religions and for all people of good conscience. The community of Blessed couples is growing together as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. It is a non-sectarian organization founded in 1994 for those who are contemplating the Blessing and those who have received it.
