PREMARITAL COUNSELING
Prepare-Enrich Premarital Counseling
The Prepare-Enrich assessment is effective in increasing communication, intimacy, and connection at any stage of a committed relationship. It can improve relationship quality, understanding of your partner and yourself, and serve as a preventative measure that helps build a strong foundation that can weather problems when they arise.

- A check-in about your homework experience and any questions or reflections that have arisen
- Specific feedback from about your strengths (agreement items) and potential issues (disagreement, indecision, and special focus items).
- Guided in-session exploration of exercises from the Workbook for Couples
- Homework from the Workbook for Couples
