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.
