Good Spouses Day(いい夫婦の日) celebrates married couples in Japan.
A Japanese commemorative day on November 22 celebrating married couples, named for the pun “ii fuufu” meaning “good married couple.”
Good Spouses Day was established in Japan to encourage gratitude and harmony within marriage. The date 11/22 was chosen because “11” can be read as “ii” (good) and “22” as “fuufu” (married couple). Couples mark the day by exchanging gifts, enjoying special dinners, and reflecting on their partnership. Organizations and local communities host events that promote communication and appreciation between spouses. While not an official public holiday, it has gained popularity through media campaigns and social initiatives focused on strengthening family bonds.
