Prepare/Enrich
for Couples

What is Prepare/Enrich?

Prepare/Enrich is a couples assessment tool that is customized for you and your partner out of hundreds of possible versions based on your particular relationship.  Prepare/Enrich assessment, coupled with feedback and teaching from a certified facilitator like Lori, pinpoints your strengths and growth areas and lets you focus on areas crucial for growth within your unique relationship.  

Prepare/Enrich  can prime you and your partner for learning valuable skills in communication and conflict resolution and also serves as "preventative medicine," helping you and your partner become aware of issues before they turn into problems.

Prepare/Enrich is a highly respected and widely used tool for premarital counseling, and is also an appropriate and edifying tool for couples in any phase of their relationship and in every stage of life. Prepare/Enrich is not a "test" that one passes or fails, but a diagnostic tool to help you and your partner live into your best and happiest possibilities.

What will we learn in our Couple's Report?

Your customized Prepare/Enrich assessment will generate a Couple's Report, which will be interpreted for you by Lori, who is a Certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator.  In this report, you'll gain insight into your relationship in several ways, one of which includes feedback in ten key areas, called core scales.  The ten core scales are: 

     Idealistic Distortion

     Communication

     Conflict Resolution

     Partner Style and Habits

     Financial Management

     Leisure Activities

     Affection and Sexuality

     Family and Friends

     Relationship Roles

     Spiritual Beliefs.

In addition to insight into each of these areas for you and your partner, your Couple's Report will also let you know your Couple Type (so that you can understand your relationship best), offer a Couple & Family Map (so that you can come to know how your families of origin influence both you and your partner), your SCOPE Personality Scale, and your Personal Stress Profile.

With this knowledge in hand, you are equipped to gain greater happiness and  success in your relationship.

The SCOPE Personality Scale and other tools

The SCOPE Personality Scale, included in Prepare/Enrich, assesses you and your partner in five personality areas: 

     Social (introversion v extroversion)

     Change (dependable v open to change)

     Organized (conscientious v easy going)

     Pleasing (agreeable v competitive)

     Emotionally Steady (calm v sensitive)

Further, your Couple and Family Map will help you understand your and your partner's needs for closeness and flexibility and how these needs relate to our families of origin.  Your dynamics as a couple will be measured in four key, interconnected areas:

     Assertiveness (the ability to express feelings and ask for what you want)

     Self-confidence (how you see yourself, and your ability to accomplish goals)

     Avoidance (minimizing issues and being reluctant to deal with issues)

     Partner Dominance (how much you feel controlled by your partner)

There are also many customized scales that may be employed for you and your partner depending on your unique situation and individualized experience in your life, in your relationship, and in your family of origin.

With Prepare/Enrich, no stone is left unturned!  Working with Lori as your trained facilitator, you and your partner will gain the insight, tools, and motivation to engage your growth areas and celebrate your strengths as a couple, and come to know yourself and your partner in a more profound and holistic way.
