The 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 feedback sessions in which the counselor facilitates discussion between the couple based on their inventory results. Over 2 million couples have taken the PREPARE/ENRICH Program (4 million people) since it began in 1980. An important strength of the PREPARE/ENRICH Inventories is their strong psychometric properties. High levels of reliability and validity have been found for each instrument, making them valuable tools for research as well as clinical use. The five inventories are:
- PREPARE - Pre-marital couples
- PREPARE-MC - Pre-marital couples with children
- PREPARE-CC - Cohabiting Couples with or without children
- ENRICH - Married couples with or without children
- MATE - Couples over the age of 50
The inventories asses the following relationship areas:
- Communication
- Conflict Resolution
- Personality Issues
- Financial Management
- Sexual Expectations
- Marital Satisfaction
- Leisure Activities
- Children and Parenting
- Family and Friends
- Expectations/Cohabitation Issues
- Role Relationship
- Spiritual Beliefs
