Prepare/Enrich Pre-Marital and Marital Inventory
Couples counseling/coaching can be done without an inventory if the couple knows the issue they want to address. The Prepare/Enrich inventory can shed light on problem areas when the couple struggle to describe their concerns.
PREPARE/ENRICH is a program based on a set of five inventories that examine major relationship issues a couple may experience. These inventories must be administered by a trained PREPARE/ENRICH Counselor and include 7-10 feedback sessions in which the counselor facilitates discussion between the couple based on their inventory results.
The inventory questions focus on these categories:
Communication, Conflict Resolution, Personality Issues, Financial Management, Religious Orientation, Children and Parenting, Family and Friends, Sexual Relationship, Realistic Expectations, Leisure Activities, Equalitarian Roles, Idealistic Distortion, Family- of-Origin, and Type of Marriage.
