Pre-Marital Counseling

[kattaway 1]

In Texas, there are pre-marital counseling sessions totaling 8 hours that I think I am going to sign Gesi & I up for, there are multiple benefits for it, such as waiving the 72 hour waiting period and a $60 discount on the marriage license, plus it wouldn't hurt to take the classes in my eyes, because it focuses on a lot of key points for people about to be married. Question is, would the certificate be something good to include in the I-130 packet? I assume it couldn't hurt....

I think it shows true dedication to a successful relationship and I bet they havent seen many others.

regardless of whether it will help with immigration (def couldn't hurt) I think its a great idea. Wish i had done that!!

I don't see how it could hurt... Pre-marital counselling is definitely a plus!

Thanks! I told him about them and he is all for it. They are Christian based which he loves because our faith is very important to us. The thing I love most about this one pastor's curriculum is the very first session she asks you to write WHY you want to get married and specifically WHY your partner. She then frames them for wedding day mementos. How awesome is that?

whoa. if you get church-based counseling you can skip the waiting period and get a discount? do they offer this to other religions? or secular pre-marriage counselling?

seems it is offered in non-religious forums as well.

Yes, it is offered in non religious groups as well, she posted the correct link for the Twogether classes in Texas. And yes, it waives the 72 hour waiting period and $60 discount on the license so it becomes $6 to get.
