Marriage License

Twogether in Texas Healthy Marriage Program

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, a Twogether in Texas marriage education class is waiting for you.

Texas now offers free marriage education classes around the state. Couples who complete a class will save $60 on their marriage license. The classes are at least 8 hours long and focus on helping couples develop communication and conflict resolution skills and other tools for a strong relationship.

After completing the class, you will get a certificate that you can take to your county clerk to save $60 on a marriage license. You will then just pay a local fee of $10.  And you won’t have to wait 72 hours to be married. The waiting period is waived for couples who complete the course.
