Marriage

If you are planning on getting married within the next year or two, start your marriage strong by attending a pre-marital class at River of Life. Premarital coaching is a requirement of being married at River of Life.

Each couple must complete a minimum of 12 hours of premarital coaching with a marriage mentoring couple. It is up to you and your mentor couple to set up dates and times that work for you. Cost is $160 per couple. Upon completion, couples receive a certificate to present to the county when applying for a marriage license. Sherburne County offers a discount of $70 for completing our premarital.

To allow adequate time for the counseling process, couples must begin the counseling process at least six months prior to their wedding date and finish all requirements one month prior to the wedding ceremony.
