Planning to say "I do" soon?   Want to save money for your big day?  Want to learn to love for life?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, keep reading.........

Texas now encourages couples to take part in a marriage preparation course because evidence indicates that couples who take such courses do better in establishing and sustaining life long marriage.  Couples who complete a state approved class will save $60 on their marriage license. For Better and For Ever is one of the approved programs.

After completing the sessions with your sponsor couple:

1 - Obtain the Certificate of Completion that you can take to your county clerk to save $60 on a marriage license. [Your sponsor couple should know how to get this for you; if not call Fr. Ruhnke at 210-534-1129.] And you won’t have to wait 72 hours to be married. The waiting period is waived for couples who complete the course.  [More info > How to apply for a marriage license in Texas.]
