Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy
Prepare-Enrich is a customised couple assessment completed online that identifies your strengths and growth areas as a couple. It is one of the most widely used programs for premarital counselling and premarital education in the world today. This program is also used for marriage counselling, marriage enrichment, and dating couples considering engagement.
The first step is for you and your partner to take the online Prepare-Enrich assessment in order to provide a self-report description of your relationship.
Based on your couple assessment results, our trained therapist provides feedback sessions in which the therapist helps you and your partner discuss and understand your results, as you are taught proven relationship skills.
Over the last 30 years, the Prepare-Enrich relationship assessment has empowered and energised more than 3 million couples. Prepare-Enrich is the number one couple inventory and assessment tool used nationally and internationally.
