Premarital Counseling
I am a Prepare/Enrich facilitator PREPARE-ENRICH, is a research-supported 156 question assessment that scores couples in thirteen different areas; communication, conflict resolution, roles, family and friends, partner habits, sexual intimacy, financial management, stress, personality differences (based the Five Factor Model), & family maps.
TheAssessment has almost 40 years of research validation and over 4 million couples have used it. Prepare/Enrich has proven itself to be the most trusted, comprehensive relationship assessment for couple at any stage of life. This model can be used with seriously dating, engaged and married couples utilizing a four- to eight- week curriculum customized to their relationship dynamics. Couples take the assessment online individually which usually takes about 45 minutes. After I get the results of the assessment I structure the sessions based on the results.
