Premarital Coaching

2.) Detailed Facilitator Report

Based on your responses, you’ll receive a comprehensive Facilitator Report that highlights your strengths, growth areas, and alignment — and will guide our conversations.
 

3.) Tailored Feedback & Skill Building

In weekly sessions, your clinician will walk you through the report, help you unpack findings, and give you exercises from the Prepare/Enrich couples workbook. These activities are designed to strengthen your relationship skills: communication, conflict resolution (including Prepare/Enrich’s 10-step conflict model), goal-setting, stress management, and more.
 

4.) Actionable Growth

Rather than just revealing insights, this program empowers you to change: you’ll learn practical tools to deepen connection, negotiate differences, and develop a shared vision for your life together.
