Prepare Enrich is an inventory that helps couples to identify areas of strength and growth areas within their relationship.  

This assessment looks at a couple’s leisure activities, relationship roles, children and parenting expectations, financial management, sexual expectations, spiritual beliefs, family and friends, marriage expectations, communication, and conflict resolution.  

The Prepare Enrich inventory is being offered complimentary to participants, and they will have the opportunity for a private session with a church minister to discuss results.
