We often say that marriage is the most important relationship we have after our relationship with God. We know that preparing well for marriage and carefully nurturing your marriage are both extremely important. Yet many people never really take the time to do that. Some are not sure how to go about it or perhaps don’t want to see a counselor because “we know we are not ‘that bad’” or “we don’t really need counseling.”

At The Well, we understand that many people would benefit from a chance to look more carefully at their relationship, either before marriage, or at any time after - even if they’ve been married 30, 40 or 50 years.

PREPARE/ENRICH is a customized couple assessment that we use to help you do this. Assessments are completed online. Based on the assessment results, a trained facilitator provides feedback sessions in which the facilitator helps the couple discuss and understand their results as they are taught proven relationship skills.

The program helps couples:

• Explore strength and growth areas
• Strengthen communication skills
• Identify and manage major stressors
• Resolve conflict using the Ten Step Model
• Develop a more balanced relationship
• Explore family of origin issues
• Discuss financial planning and budgeting
• Establish personal, couple and family goals
• Understand and appreciate personality differences

The Well has providers who are trained to use the PREPARE/ENRICH inventory and are ready to meet with you on a flexible time schedule tailored to your personal time needs.
