A FEW THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER

Many couples spend up to, and sometimes more than, a year planning for a wedding day or the day when two individuals unite as a couple.

These couples and others spend at least nine months planning for a family.

Not many individuals, couples, and families spend as much time, money, and effort planning for and investing in the rest of their lives.

ARE YOU INVESTING IN THE RIGHT MARKET?

Consider preparing for your marriage with my PREPARE/ENRICH Program. The PREPARE/ENRICH Program is widely used for premarital preparation and marriage enrichment.  PREPARE/ENRICH includes a comprehensive couple assessment along with feedback using skills building exercises. Premarital counseling does not have to include the PREPARE/ENRICH Program.  Other options include 4-8 couple sessions to learn the relationship skills mentioned below and to explore the potential areas for relationship challenges.

 

What is PREPARE/ENRICH?

PREPARE/ENRICH is a customized couple assessment completed online or in my office that identifies a couple’s strength and growth areas. Based on a couple’s 16-page assessment results, I will then provide 4-8 feedback sessions in which I will help the couple discuss and understand their results as they are taught proven relationship skills.  Couples also receive a Couple’s Workbook with detailed exercises to complete and practice in and out of sessions at the first feedback session.

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

The PREPARE/ENRICH Program has been created on a strong research foundation and was recently updated to include a more comprehensive assessment with additional skills building exercises.
