Florida Premarital Counseling Course — Online & Self-Paced
Getting married in Florida? Completing a premarital preparation course is one of the smartest first steps you can take together, and in Florida, it comes with real, practical benefits. The MyMHU Florida premarital counseling course is online, self-paced, and built for couples who want to start their marriage prepared, not just paperwork.
What Florida Law Says About Premarital Courses
Florida encourages couples to complete a premarital preparation course before they marry. Couples who complete a qualifying course are eligible for two meaningful benefits when they apply for their marriage license:
· Lower license fee. A discount on the marriage license fee.
· No waiting period. A waiver of the standard 3-day waiting period between getting the license and the ceremony.
To qualify, the course must meet Florida’s requirements and be completed within the timeframe the state allows before you apply for your license.
GOOD TO KNOW: Bring your course completion certificate to the county clerk’s office when you apply for your marriage license so you receive the discount and waiver.
