What is Prepare/Enrich? 

The goal of the Prepare/Enrich assessment and counseling is to provide couples with objective results and insights that they can use to help their relationship thrive. Each couple will take an assessment that will give an accurate overview of you and your partner and equip you both with invaluable relationship skills. Specific goals and treatment interventions for each couple will stem from the initial assessment report.

Aspects of your relationship that will be explored using the prepare/enrich assessment include:

Communication, conflict resolution, partner style and habits, financial management, leisure activities, sexual expectations and intimacy, family and friends, relationship roles, cultural differences and spiritual beliefs. Your scores will be reviewed from an in-depth couples assessment, which will be used to discuss your relationship strengths and areas of growth.
