Current research shows there is a 33 percent lower divorce rate among couples who attend a premarital preparation class. Research also indicates that successful couples have the same number of disagreements and disagree about all the same basic issues as couples who divorce. The difference between successful and unsuccessful couples is how they handle their disagreements.
The Palm Beach County Cooperative Extension Service, an approved provider by the 15th Judicial Circuit, has scheduled its next premarital preparation class for Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 23 and 24, 2007, 6 – 9 p.m.
The cost is $20 and couples must attend both sessions to get the three-day waiting period waived and a $32.50 discount on their marriage license. Classes will be held at the Clayton Hutcheson Agricultural Services Center, 559 N. Military Trail in West Palm Beach.
