A few helpful answers.
Why does sign-in mention ChatGPT?
ChatGPT provides secure sign-in for this website. Marriage Beyond the Wedding manages your lessons and payment approvals. You can read the first lesson of every topic without signing in.
Do I need a paid ChatGPT subscription?
No paid ChatGPT subscription is required for sign-in. Lesson purchases and personal counselling are separate services from Marriage Beyond the Wedding.
Is K30 a monthly subscription?
No. Each K30 of approved payment unlocks two lessons. K60 unlocks four; K90 unlocks six. Any remainder stays as credit, and your account shows the balance for the next two lessons. There is no automatic renewal.
What happens after I submit a payment?
Joseph checks the actual mobile-money receipt. Your lessons open after approval, and a signed receipt becomes available in My account. Approval is manual and may take time; do not pay twice while waiting.
Can I chat with an AI assistant now?
The written assistant is planned for later and is not active. For personal counselling, contact Joseph to discuss availability before paying.
How do I get help with my account?
Use the same sign-in account as before. For password recovery, follow the recovery options on the ChatGPT sign-in screen. For lesson or payment queries, email marriagebeyondwedding@gmail.com.
