I think the course some girls have been talking about mostly has been what is required for some states, well at least a few of the recent discussions. Certain states require a marriage course for their residents. But I am sure there are lots of courses you can take that are online. I bet you might possibly be able to take some with a local church too.

Just so you have the information... the reason so many couples get married during A school, rather than after while the sailor is home on leave, is because they receive orders as either married or single sailors, and that makes a difference.
The difference is whether they are "accompanied" or "unaccompanied". If accompanied, you get a paid move to his new duty station, a dislocation allowance and other moving related benefits. While you may say, "I can pay for my own move, I'd rather have the wedding"... okay. But if your sailor gets overseas orders unaccompanied... you are NOT going. As in for up to three years of living apart with rare and expensive visits. E-3 and below are not authorized to take dependents overseas. Even if he makes E-4, gets orders overseas, and then gets married on leave en route... you aren't going until you get command sponsorship, which can take six months to a year. The Navy tries not to send married junior sailors overseas, so the single sailors run a better chance of pulling those orders.
Just so you know and can talk it over with your sailor. -

Does that apply to reserves too ? I know he won't be gone long , but he can still get shipped off on tours so would it make a difference then too ??

It would make a difference only when he is activated. The dependent benefits kick in during those times.
