I am excited to share that I am now a Certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator. I now offer Prepare/Enrich assessments to couples who are interested in premarital counseling or early relationship evaluation. Prepare/Enrich is a versatile and customizable online assessment for newer couples that produces a comprehensive report with graphs and detailed analyses of multiple scales adapted for the couple’s unique characteristics. Prepare/Enrich helps couples identify strengths, areas for growth, and communication patterns, which can guide them through the early stages of marriage and beyond.
Prepare/Enrich Categories
Prepare/Enrich measures each partner’s satisfaction in categories such as:
- Relationship Dynamics,
- Family & Friends,
- Communication,
- Conflict Resolution,
- Financial Management,
- Leisure Activities,
- Spiritual Beliefs,
- Partner Character Traits, and
- Relationship Expectations.
Partners also receive:
- Personal Stress profile;
- Family Map that explores the dynamics within the family of origin;
- Personality Scales assessment based on the Five Factor Model of Personality (the widely accepted trait theory of personality).
In addition to these standard categories, the assessment may include questions from over 30 customized categories, such as previous marriages, step-parenting, current living arrangements, impending parenthood, or inter-generational issues for middle-aged couples.
According to the research, engaging in the Prepare/Enrich assessment process improves relationship quality and brings increased awareness across multiple aspects of the relationship. It also reduces risk for divorce by 30% if taken prior to marriage.
Prepare/Enrich Counseling with Elaine Korngold
A typical Prepare/Enrich engagement for a newer, engaged, or recently married couple takes eight 50-minute online sessions. You will be set up with access to Prepare/Enrich as part of your intake process. We will begin reviewing your results and practicing appropriate exercises in our first session. Please contact me if you would like to strengthen your newer monogamous relationship. Both partners need to be available for our consultation.
