Transforming Relationships

More than 5,000,000 couples have prepared for marriage or enriched their relationship through taking the Prepare/Enrich assessment and working with a Certified Facilitator.  The assessment itself has been proven to improve relationship satisfaction; however there is something extraordinary about the relationship a Facilitator develops with a couple that truly helps the couple grow more than they would on their own.

Our Proven Tool

Evidence-Based

Prepare/Enrich is one of the most widely researched assessment tools.  Professors and students at colleges and universities worldwide use the scales as a tool to conduct and evaluate their research. Prepare/Enrich continues to adapt and react to the changing reality of relationships through continued research and development of assessments and resources.

A Global Community

Dr. David Olson, family science pioneer, and his wife, Karen Olson, founded Prepare/Enrich in 1980 after Dr. Olson connected theory and practice.  Dr. Olson developed a method that provided counselors and clergy a framework to use with couples.  Today, Prepare/Enrich is powered by a dedicated staff based in Roseville, Minnesota as well as a vast network that spans across the world.  The Prepare/Enrich family is over 250,000 Certified Facilitators strong and growing every day.
