Marriage enrichment program

Engaged couples in Clarke, Oglethorpe and Oconee counties are being sought for the pre-marital preparation and relationship enhancement program provided by University of Georgia Cooperative Extension and College of Family and Consumer Sciences.

Couples can enroll for a series of six one-on-one sessions with a trained counselor or attend an all-day workshop.

One-on-one sessions will be determined by the schedules of the participants and counselors. A day-long program, limited to 12 couples, is scheduled for April 10.

Registration for either option is $60, but couples who complete the program will qualify for a $35 discount on their marriage license.

For more information, visit www.gamarriages.com or contact Ted Futris at (706) 542-7566 or tfutris@uga.edu.
