Marriage

Resources for your life, together

Marriage

Married? Hope to be someday? Married Life is for & about YOU! Marriage is an adventure, and our desire is to help you prepare for, build, maintain and reclaim the marriage God intended for you. Great marriages are possible, beautiful, powerful, and challenging, – but it CAN be done, and it IS worth it. Where ever you are – Gateway wants to help!

Getting Married?

Research shows good premarital counseling reduces divorce risk by 30%. Gateway's Soulmates program is an 8-week interactive experience where couples work with marriage mentors and learn from experienced communicators to build a foundation for lasting love.

We believe so strongly in this program that we've made it our most affordable option at just $40 per couple. You'll receive a comprehensive relationship assessment and can apply for your Texas marriage license on-site.

Soulmates runs twice yearly—fall and spring—and is required for any couple wanting a Gateway pastor to officiate their wedding.

Ready to invest in your future together?

Expand Questions and Answers

I’m getting married in a month or two (maybe less). How can you help me
Unfortunately, we require a 4 month lead time to ensure proper preparation has occurred time to schedule a pastor for your wedding. It is unlikely we can accommodate timeframes less than four months.

I filled out the “Request a Gateway Pastor Form.” When can I expect a response?
You can typically expect a response between 1-2 weeks.

What if we already have an officiant? Can we just get counseling and how much does that cost?
Absolutely. We would highly encourage you to attend the Soulmates experience. See details on the class and Honorarium Fee document.

Can I have my wedding at Gateway?
Unfortunately, Gateway does not offer facilities for weddings at this time.
