Prepare/Enrich for Clients

What to Expect from the Prepare/Enrich Assessment

The Prepare/Enrich Assessment is a proven tool that helps couples—whether you’re dating, engaged, or married—learn more about each other and strengthen your relationship.

It’s not a test you can pass or fail. Think of it as a relationship check-up that gives you a personalized roadmap for growth.

Step 1: Take the Online Assessment

Takes about 30–45 minutes per person.
You’ll answer questions about:
- Communication and how you solve problems
- Personality and stress styles
- Roles and expectations in your relationship
- Finances and decision-making
- Affection, intimacy, and fun
- Family background and, if relevant, parenting views
- Spiritual or value alignment (optional)
Be honest—this is about understanding, not judgment.

Step 2: Review Your Results Together

We’ll go over a personalized report that shows:
Your relationship strengths
Areas where you might need new tools or understanding
How your personalities work together
Current life stressors and how they affect you
You’ll see visuals and examples that make it easy to understand your results.

Step 3: Build Skills That Last

Based on your results, we’ll do guided activities like:
Practicing better listening and communication
Learning to resolve disagreements without getting stuck
Making financial and life decisions as a team
Finding ways to keep romance and appreciation alive
Every session is tailored to your unique relationship—no cookie-cutter advice.
