What is the difference between Prepare Enrich Premarital Counseling and other types of precommitment or pre-marriage counseling?
Prepare Enrich is a structured program that utilizes a robust assessment that is backed by 40 years of research. It covers all conversations needed to prepare for marriage; there is no guessing, we know exactly what to focus on. Research has shown that the Prepare Enrich Program will reduce the risk of divorce by 31%. All facilitators go through a training process in order to be certified to facilitate the program. Other kinds of pre-marriage counseling do not utilize this in depth of an assessment and do not require counselors to be certified. While other couples assessments are available online, understanding the results and how to use the data to better prepare can be challenging. In our sessions, I bring support and guidance to help you understand your results and learn healthier and effective ways to deepen your connection, prevent future challenges, and build a fulfilling relationship. Prepare Enrich is far beyond other modalities when it comes to premarital counseling, there is nothing else quite like it.
What’s included in the Prepare Enrich Package?
