It’s never too early to start working on your relationship, in fact, early is the best time. Prepare/Enrich is an interactive assessment that can help couples, primarily those engaged to be married, to increase relationship satisfaction. Aspects of your relationship that will be explored in premarital counseling therapy 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.The assessment itself has been proven to improve relationship satisfaction; however there is something extraordinary about the relationship a facilitator develops with a couple that truly helps the couple grow more than they would on their own.
