Welcome to MarriageForward.com. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Marriage Forward website, services, materials, forms, communications, and related features.

By accessing or using MarriageForward.com, submitting an inquiry or registration, or purchasing services through Marriage Forward, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the website.

Marriage Forward Services

Marriage Forward provides premarital counseling, relationship education, and related services.

Information presented on MarriageForward.com is provided for general informational and educational purposes and to help individuals and couples learn about Marriage Forward services.

Website content is not a substitute for individualized professional assessment, counseling, medical care, legal advice, or emergency services.

Submitting an inquiry, registration form, payment, or other information through the website does not by itself establish a therapist-client relationship. Any professional counseling relationship is subject to separate informed-consent documentation, policies, and other applicable requirements.

If you are experiencing an emergency or immediate safety concern, do not rely on this website, email, text messaging, or other Marriage Forward communications for emergency assistance. Contact appropriate emergency services.

Registration and Information

When you submit information through our registration, scheduling, payment, or contact systems, you agree to provide information that is accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge.

You are responsible for ensuring that the contact information you provide is current and belongs to you or that you are otherwise authorized to provide it.

Payments

Prices and payment requirements for Marriage Forward services will be disclosed before purchase.

Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors. Those providers may maintain their own terms, privacy policies, and security practices.

Cancellation, refund, rescheduling, attendance, and other policies applicable to counseling or related services may be provided separately as part of the registration or informed-consent process. When applicable, those service-specific policies also govern your participation in Marriage Forward services.

Email Communications

When you provide your email address and request information, register, schedule services, or otherwise interact with Marriage Forward, you may receive emails related to your inquiry, registration, appointments, purchased services, reminders, and other communications you have requested.

Some communications may be sent through automated systems.

If you consent to marketing or promotional communications, you may also receive automated follow-up emails and information about Marriage Forward services.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in those communications.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent Marriage Forward from sending necessary administrative or service-related communications concerning services you have requested or purchased.

SMS/Text Messaging Terms

When you affirmatively opt in to receive SMS/text communications from Marriage Forward, you consent to receive text messages at the telephone number you provide.

Messages may include communications concerning:

  • Your inquiry or request for information

  • Marriage Forward services

  • Registration and enrollment

  • Scheduling and appointment reminders

  • Follow-up communications

  • Program information

  • Other communications consistent with the consent you provided

Messages may be sent using an automated system.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

Consent to receive marketing SMS messages is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services from Marriage Forward.

Providing your telephone number alone does not constitute consent to receive marketing text messages.

Opting Out of SMS

You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP to a Marriage Forward text message.

After you reply STOP, you may receive a confirmation message indicating that you have been unsubscribed. After that confirmation, you will no longer receive SMS messages covered by that subscription unless you subsequently opt in again.
