PREPARE/ENRICH is a customized couple assessment that identifies a couple's strength and growth areas. It is one of the most widely used programs for premarital counseling and premarital education. It is also used for marriage counseling, marriage enrichment, and dating couples considering engagement. Based on a couple's assessment results, a trained facilitator provides 4-8 feedback sessions in which the facilitator helps the couple discuss and understand their results as they are taught proven relationship skills.

The program helps couples: • Explore strength and growth areas • Strengthen communication skills • Identify and manage major stressors • Resolve conflict using the Ten Step Model • Develop a more balanced relationship • Explore family of origin issues • Discuss financial planning and budgeting • Establish personal, couple and family goals • Understand and appreciate personality differences |
