| How the Marriage Discount Works "The marriage license fee is $97.50. Couples who complete a four hour marriage counseling course by a qualified counselor or minister will be charged $37.50. If either the county or counselor does not approve the session, you must pay full price." Shelby County Clerk The state of Tennessee has encouraged engaged couples to pursue some type of premarital counseling by giving them a $60.00 discount on their marriage license when they have completed a minimum of 4 hours of premarital instruction. If you attend at least 4 of the 17 free Marriage 101 classes, you will receive a free notebook and you will receive your discount on your marriage license. Of course, we encourage you to explore all 17 of the classes. |
