Getting Married

SoulMates Slide

Gateway wholeheartedly believes in marriage, and we want to partner with you to ensure your marriage starts off on the right foot. Many studies claim that good premarital counseling can reduce the risk of divorce by as much as 30%. Why not make this small investment that is likely to pay off for the duration of your marriage?

Gateway has created an incredible premarital counseling experience called Soulmates. It’s an 8-week interactive experience where couples explore the unique characteristics of their relationship with a marriage mentor while being instructed by experienced marriage communicators.

We truly believe that Soulmates offers the best pre-marital experience for couples, so we have also made it the most affordable option for couples seeking marriage at Gateway. It’s offered twice per year, once in the fall and once in the new year.

The cost is $40 per couple and includes a comprehensive relationship assessment as well as the option to apply for the Texas marriage license. Any couple who is interested in having a Gateway pastor officiate their wedding must go through Soulmates.

REGISTER FOR SOULMATES
Re_Engage Slide

Whether your marriage is good and you want it to be great, or you are at rock-bottom and wonder if there is hope, re|engage is a safe place to grow in your marriage. Each week, you will hear from couples whose marriages have been transformed, learn practical ways to grow in oneness with your spouse, and gain insight from others in a small group setting as you walk through the 13 lessons. Only one registration needed per couple.

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.
