Prepare/Enrich Premarital Counseling Training
Prepare/Enrich is the leading relationship inventory and skill-building program used nationally and internationally. It is built on a solid research foundation and significantly improves a couple’s relationship. PREPARE/ENRICH is custom tailored to a couple’s relationship and provides couple exercises to build their relationship skills.
I have used the Prepare/Enrich program for over 15 years and have been a trainer for four years. This program has helped me make premarital sessions meaningful and impactful. This has been particularly true for weddings that include couples that are not part of our congregational life. This simple tool gives a quick and insightful snapshot of the couples relationship.
More than Premarital
This training is more than just a premarital program. Prepare/Enrich offers inventories that are useful in helping everyone in a long-term relationship identify their strengths and areas of growth.
Helps Couples Improve Their Relationship
To achieve this goal Prepare/Enrich helps couples look a the following aspects of their relationship:
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
Affordable Training
The Prepare/Enrich Training cost $200 with lunch provided. This one time training allows you to use the program without any ongoing training cost.
Affordable Per-couple Cost
Prepare/Enrich is a cost effective tool to use. Each couple cost $35 for the online inventory and report. This cost can be directly paid to Prepare/Enrich through their website by the couple when they log-in to complete the inventory or the facilitator can “purchase” the scorings. This fee is easy to include in “Wedding Fees” or is affordable enough for most churches to budget for.
Easy to Use
Prepare/Enrich is administered through an easy web based tool. Couples complete the inventory online and a report is accessible almost instantly.
Who Should Use Prepare/Enrich?
The inventory has been utilized by over 100,000 trained clergy members, professional counselors, mentors, and marriage educators throughout the U.S.
Scientifically Based
An important strength of the Prepare/Enrich Inventory is their strong psychometric properties. High levels of reliability and validity have been found for each instrument, making them valuable tools for research as well as clinical use.
- National Norms based on over 500,000 couples
- High Levels of Validity and Reliability
Prepare has validity in that it discriminates premarital couples that get divorced from those that are happily married with about 80-85% accuracy. Reliability is high (alpha reliability of .80 – .85).
