SAVE MONEY. MARRY IN TEXAS.

A look at some notable bills that made it, and some that didn't, in the regular session of the 80th Texas Legislature.

Passed, awaiting action by governor
Marriage fee: Increases the Texas marriage license fee from $30 to $60 but waives the fee and a 72-hour waiting period for couples who take a premarital education course. Wow, could Texans be on to something? Wonder what the research says on the divorce rate of couples who completed some type of premarital education course or counseling? What do you think? Does it make a difference?

Failed
Covenant marriage: Would have allowed couples applying for a marriage license or couples already married to designate theirs a 'covenant marriage,' making divorce more difficult. Hmmmm....can someone help me understand what is a "covenant marriage"?

The truth is you decide your relations and marriage reasons. A life of truth and value doesn’t change your identity in relationship. You can live a conformed and transformed abundant marriage life with a few self commitments.

A. Be optimistic
B. Maintain sober and healthy relationship
C. Sustain regularly stimulating and challenging conversation
D. Pray, work and play with passion
E. Team with someone who makes you laugh
F. Laugh out loud and smile often
G. Balance work with restoration
H. Revive and replenish mental and physical every seven day
I. Be a giver and expect nothing in return
J. Enjoy life have integrity and compassion

Roman 12: 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old thing are past away; behold, all things are become new.

It is standing and trusting God promise that helps us sustain a joyful and trust worthy life
