Marriage Preparation

Are you engaged or thinking about becoming engaged? If you are, congratulations – you’re making one of the most important decisions and commitments of your life. Surprisingly, what I’ve found is that couples often invest more time, energy and resources on that one day in their lives rather than equipping and preparing themselves for a lifetime together.

Getting engaged and planning your wedding is a very exciting time in your life. In addition to planning your special day consider preparing for your life together by investing in Marriage Preparation; ensure your relationship has a solid foundation on which to build a life together. You and your partner will gain insights into the key components and skills that research has shown are necessary to build a successful and satisfying marriage.
The process uses a tool called PREPARE and consists of the couple independently taking an inventory which generates a personalized report that reflects the couple’s strengths & growth areas.

Your personalized report will be the basis of approximately 6-8 feedback sessions that are designed to meet the following goals: There are six goals of the PREPARE/ENRICH Program. In order to achieve these goals there are also six corresponding couple exercises designed to help couples improve their relationship skills. The six goals are:

1. To explore Relationship Strengths and Growth Areas
2. To learn Assertiveness and Active Listening Skills
3. To learn how to resolve conflict using the Ten Step Model
4. To help the couple discuss their Family-of-Origin
5. To help the couple with financial planning and budgeting
6. To focus on personal, couple and family goals
