    I would like this info too!  I think this would be a great thing to do prior to getting married. :)

    We took ours through Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, which is where we're getting married. Its a 2 day class (Friday night and Saturday afternoon) and anyone can take it. We had such an awesome experience and learned a lot. It does have a somewhat spiritual vibe to it, but nothing is off limits. The next class is in May. Here is the link

    We didn't do "classes" per se.. I opted for full on pre-marital therapy and it was such an enjoyable experience. I thought it would be better suited for our individual needs. I wanted more one on one attention. If you're open to it, do the pre-marital couples counseling..

    If you don't mind me asking who did you do your pre-marital couples counseling with?

    We are doing pre-marital counseling with our officiant. He requires it, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's an 8-session minimum and there are no holds barred.

    We are going to be doing pre-marriage counseling to get a discount on our marriage license, plus my dad required it when FI asked if he could marry me.

    Right now we are working on a wonderful book together... 1001 questions to ask before you get married that I heard about on the October Brides board. It has started some amazing 2 hour long conversations, and I would recommend it for anyone!

    We did free sessions at our church and like one of the previous responders, we paid for more sessions from a licensed counselor. I understand trying to cut costs, but I really think its worth it. Its like buying a quality car or bed - the return is priceless!!!

    Most churches will offer free sessions - most beyond that is associated with a fee.

    We took our pre-marital classes at 12Stone church in Lawrenceville, GA. They are 6-wks long and so helpful! We learned a lot about marriage, conflict, communication, sex, etc. It was also free. We absolutely loved it!

    Does anyone else have any suggestions? I'm still looking for classes. Although 12Stone sounds great, my FI is looking for something that would include a mentoring couple or something like that. We've now created a budget for the classes but don't want to spend more than $100.
