Marriage & Relationships | Florida Premarital Courses
Planning a wedding in Florida? Congratulations! As you prepare for your special day, there are many decisions to make, from choosing the perfect venue to obtaining your marriage license.
But did you know that taking a Florida-approved premarital course can help you save money, avoid the three-day waiting period, and prepare for a stronger marriage?
Even better, you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to receive quality marriage preparation.
With They Became One, couples can complete a Florida-approved, four-hour online premarital preparation course for just $9.99 TOTAL per couple—not per person!
Let's explore what you need to know before saying "I do."
Why Take a Premarital Course in Florida?
Marriage is one of life's most meaningful commitments. While preparing for your wedding day is exciting, preparing for your marriage is even more important.
Florida encourages couples to participate in premarital education by offering certain benefits when they complete an approved course.
Under Florida Statute 741.0305, eligible couples who successfully complete a qualifying premarital preparation course may receive:
A waiver of Florida's three-day marriage license waiting period. This benefit applies when both applicants are Florida residents and meet the statutory requirements.
A reduction in the marriage license fee. Qualifying couples can receive a $25 discount on the state marriage license fee.
Valuable relationship preparation. Couples have an opportunity to strengthen communication, understand expectations, and develop practical skills for marriage.
These benefits make premarital education an investment in both your wedding plans and your future together.
Can You Really Take a Florida Premarital Course Online for Under $10?
Yes!
With They Became One, you and your future spouse can complete a Florida-approved premarital course for only $9.99 per couple.
That's one affordable price for both partners.
Our course is designed to make marriage preparation accessible, convenient, and meaningful without placing an additional financial burden on couples planning their wedding.
And because the course is completely online, you can participate from wherever you have internet access.
What Is Included in the They Became One Premarital Course?
They Became One is a four-hour online premarital preparation course designed to help couples build a strong foundation for marriage.
Throughout the course, couples explore important relationship principles, including:
Effective Communication
Learn how to communicate with greater understanding, listen intentionally, and express your thoughts and feelings in healthy ways.
Conflict Resolution
Disagreements are a natural part of relationships. Discover practical strategies for navigating conflict with respect, patience, and understanding.
Building a Strong Marriage Foundation
Explore the importance of commitment, shared values, mutual respect, and intentional relationship development.
Practical Relationship Skills
Develop tools that can help you navigate everyday challenges and strengthen your partnership long after your wedding celebration.
Our goal is not simply to help you complete a state requirement. We want to help you begin your marriage with greater understanding, stronger communication, and confidence for the journey ahead.
How Long Does the Florida Premarital Course Take?
Florida requires an approved premarital preparation course to include a minimum of four hours of instruction.
They Became One is designed to satisfy this four-hour educational requirement.
Because the course is self-paced, you can work through the lessons at your convenience.
You can begin, pause, and return to your coursework as your schedule allows.
Whether you're balancing work, wedding planning, or family responsibilities, online learning offers the flexibility to prepare for marriage without attending traditional classroom sessions.
Will I Receive a Certificate After Completing the Course?
Yes!
After successfully completing They Became One, you will receive a Certificate of Completion through our secure certificate delivery platform, Certifier.
Certificates are delivered by email, typically within minutes after successful completion and processing.
You can download and print your certificate to present when applying for your Florida marriage license.
Be sure to complete the required course before obtaining your marriage license so you can qualify for applicable benefits.
Can This Course Help Us Skip Florida's Three-Day Waiting Period?
For eligible Florida residents, yes.
Florida generally requires a three-day waiting period for marriage licenses issued to couples when both applicants are Florida residents.
However, couples who meet the statutory requirements and provide proof of completing an approved premarital preparation course may qualify to have that waiting period waived.
This can be especially helpful for couples planning a wedding on a shorter timeline.
Keep in mind that eligibility depends on residency and other applicable requirements. Confirm your documentation and marriage license requirements with your county clerk before applying.
Is They Became One a Faith-Based Premarital Course?
They Became One is built upon timeless biblical principles that encourage healthy relationships while remaining welcoming and practical for every engaged couple.
Whether faith has always been central to your relationship or you're simply looking for meaningful guidance before marriage, the course offers practical wisdom to help you prepare for your future together.
We believe marriage preparation should encourage couples to grow in understanding, strengthen their commitment, and approach their relationship with intentionality.
Why Choose They Became One?
There are many premarital education options available, but we believe quality preparation should be both meaningful and affordable.
With They Became One, you'll receive:
A Florida-approved four-hour premarital preparation course.
Convenient, 100% online access.
Self-paced learning that fits your schedule.
A Certificate of Completion upon successful completion.
