The PREPARE/ENRICH Workbook for Couples is a complement to your assessment results. It contains skill-building exercises that will help you to understand and apply the insights from the assessment. The exercises consist of questions to both ponder individually and discuss as a couple, plus activities to do together. Begin with the recommended Six Core Exercises and continue with the remaining exercises in in any order. This version also includes Bible verses for reflection, inspiration, and encouragement.

Couple Checkup

Prepare Enrich also enables couples to take the online Couple Checkup which is a less technical version of the Prepare Enrich inventory. Couples can use this "self-help" tool to build a more satisfying and intimate relationship without the aid of a facilitator. Just answering the questions will stimulate thoughts and attitudes about a couple's relationship. It is designed to activate dialogue, discovery, and increase the overall quality of a couple's relationship. For more details visit Couple Checkup.
