Why Prepare/Enrich Materials?

  • CUSTOMIZED: The questions are based on each couple’s unique background and are tailored for previous marriage, children, age, living arrangement, and more. Couples feel accurately represented when taking their premarital assessment.*

​

  • EXPOSES IDEALISM:  Couples often approach the premarital season of their relationship with rose-colored glasses, assuming everything will be fine because they are in love. Prepare/Enrich helps couples see an unbiased, clearer picture so you can dive deep to work on the important subjects.*

​

  • BUILDS CONFIDENCE: Using an assessment as framework for working with couples will help you. Prepare/Enrich has supported over 100,000 counselors and clergy to build your confidence in working with couples. In addition, it can help the couple build confidence in their decision to move towards the next step in their relationship.*
