Overview of Our Premarital Counseling Program

Our couples intensive premarital counseling program consists of taking an initial inventory called Prepare/Enrich. This inventory provides a comprehensive snap shot of the relationship of an engaged or married couple, including measurable scores in various areas of the relationship. Then, the couple has five follow up sessions with a trained counselor in order to discuss relational matters assessed by the inventory.

​Relationship Areas Covered

​Part I:
Personality assessment which assesses the following four areas: Assertiveness, Self Confidence, Avoidance, and Partner Dominance

Part II:
Relationship assessment which assesses the following areas: marriage expectations, personality issues, communication, conflict resolution, finances, leisure activities, sexual relationship, parenting, social, role relationship, and spiritual beliefs. Based on these items, each couple is identified as 1 of 5 types of couples ranging from Conflictual to Vitalized.

Part III:
Family and Couple Map – Family of origin issues and current relationship issues are charted to provide insight into dynamics of the couple relationship.
