Prepare/Enrich helps couples strengthen connections, navigate challenges, and thrive in their relationships. In addition to general relationship knowledge building, couples will reflect on on their specific relationship while building relationship skills that promote deepened connection.
During the workshop, couples will be led through lessons in a workbook via lectures, couples skill building exercises, and group discussions.
A minimum of 3 couples will be required for the workshop to take place (with a max of 15 couples).
Process:
When you register, we will need and email address for each individual. Within a few days, each individual will receive an email from Prepare/Enrich to complete an online assessment that will be used the day of the workshop. That email will also include instructions. The assessment fee is $35 total per couple and will be paid directly to Prepare/Enrich. Rev. Chesla will receive the reports and will share with you at the workshop. The online assessments must be completed by April 23, 2026.
Lunch will be provided for $10 per person.
