What clergy and counselors are saying

 “As a pastor, I wish I had been using this for the last twenty years. As a seminary faculty member, I will encourage my students to get the training and use PREPARE/ENRICH for their counseling.”         – Seminary faculty

 

  “Prepare/Enrich is a time-saving tool, which effectively identifies a couple’s strengths and weaknesses. I have used this in my pastoral work for 15 years and have yet to find an inventory that is as effective and reliable.           -  Pastor

 

“This is an excellent resource for having a structured way to provide feedback to couples on the inventory, and a useful tool for counseling in general.”              -  Professional Counselor

 

Learn how to use this widely used tool for marriage preparation or enrichment.  Developed by David Olson Ph.D, of  Life Innovations, Inc, this inventory and accompanying Building a Strong Marriage Workbook is based on many years solid research with hundreds of thousands of couples!  Begin using this exceptional tool to enhance your marriage counseling or to develop a Mentor Program for your congregation and community.  Is it effective?
