In the reform of marriage customs, Yuwangtai District has also carried out activities such as telling family stories and riddles, guiding the masses to establish the concept of marriage customs of "being in the same boat through thick and thin, caring for each other, taking responsibility for each other, respecting each other and caring for each other", allowing new marriage customs to be blown into thousands of households, "reducing the burden" on love and adding luster to "Beautiful Yuwangtai".

In order to further promote the change of customs and promote the marriage concept of "helping each other in the same boat, caring for each other, sharing responsibilities, respecting each other and loving each other", Ye County used the marriage registration office as a publicity platform to publicize the new marriage trend by making publicity boards, printing publicity materials and proposals.

Yexian's innovative method, through holding positive wedding customs and cultural activities such as outdoor group wedding, model wedding, red wedding, military wedding, golden wedding celebration, charity wedding, has guided the public to change from the concept of "emphasizing wedding banquet and ostentation" to the concept of "emphasizing responsibility and advocating frugality", forming a new wedding fashion with new happy events and simple weddings.

Facing the new needs and new ideas of contemporary youth, Yexian county develops diversified marriage and family counseling mode, regularly holds "marriage preservation" happiness salon classes, sets up a "matchmaker" service team, and builds an online and offline platform for real-name registration system youth to make friends, so as to guide school-age youth to establish a correct view on marriage and love.
