“Every engaged couple thinks they don’t need it.
Every married couple thinks they did.”

–Mark McManus, author of Marriage Savers

The Workshop is designed to train seminarians, clergy and counselors to work with pre-marital and marital couples at all stages of relationship. This respected program is religion-neutral and same-sex friendly. It will add to ministerial competencies, and enrich pastoral and counseling options throughout your career.

Over one million couples have benefited from the PREPARE/ENRICH Program, a counseling/assessment model created in 1980. Couples fill out an extensive inventory which is scientifically scored and results in a detailed, computerized counselor report. Topics addressed include communication, conflict resolution, family-of-origin, finances, sexuality, spiritual beliefs, and many more. 

Six feedback exercises have been created to help your couples increase self-awareness and build on strengths as they improve their relationships. (full details about Prepare/Enrich at www.lifeinnovations.com)

Materials you will receive at the Workshop include:

• Comprehensive Counselor Manual – step-by-step instructions for administration and feedback of the Program.
• 5 Inventories – for premarital and married couples at all stages of life. (PREPARE (3 types), ENRICH and MATE)
• Building a Strong Marriage Workbook – exercises for couples to complete with your facilitation.
• Complimentary Scoring of one set on our new Online System – use it for yourself or a couple you are working with, a $29.95 value.
