Are you looking forward to that big happy day in your life? How about preparation for life after the wedding day?
Amid all your hectic preparations for your wedding day, do not forget to prepare yourselves to enjoy a rewarding long-term relationship. Research suggests that the first two years of marriage are the formative years in which couples establish life-long patterns of relating to one another. I use the PREPARE/ENRICH tool for Marriage Preparation. With a solid research foundation and wide applicability of the assessment, PREPARE/ENRICH has found its home in the counselling field. The PREPARE/ENRICH premarital evaluation and training will prepare you to visualize your relationship, put facts behind your feelings, and discover ways to open up doors for communication and intimacy thus making your relationship stronger and more fulfilling.
I am pleased to offer the Marriage Preparation course online, in both private sessions and a group workshop format.
