The strongest relationships are built on intention and honest conversation.

You want to understand your partner more deeply. You want to talk through the things that matter before they become problems. Or maybe you just want to slow down and reconnect, intentionally and honestly, with the person you love. Prepare and Enrich is a research-based couples assessment that gives you the structure, language, and support to do just that.

At Integrative Couples Therapy, we use Prepare and Enrich to help couples explore their relationship in a grounded, meaningful way. Whether you are dating, engaged, or have been together for years, this process can give you new insight and a clear path forward together.

A deeper understanding of your relationship—guided with intention.

Prepare and Enrich is not a test. It is a structured tool that highlights your relationship strengths and brings awareness to areas that might need more attention or support. It covers everything from communication and conflict to intimacy, family dynamics, money, roles, and core values.

Once you complete the online assessment, your therapist will guide you through the results—helping you make sense of what they mean and how to use them. You will not just learn more about each other. You will practice the skills needed to grow, together.

You will leave with:

• A shared understanding of your strengths as a couple

• Awareness of patterns that may be creating stress or distance

• Insight into your communication and conflict styles

• Clarity around personal and family history and how it shapes your dynamic

• A deeper sense of connection and empathy toward one another

• Tools to support your relationship through future transitions and challenges

This process is especially helpful for couples who are:

• Dating or newly engaged and want to lay a strong foundation

• Blending families or navigating a second marriage

• In long-term relationships or marriage wanting to reconnect and check in

• Recently married and looking to strengthen communication

• Wanting structure for relationship growth and a research based tool that serves as a guide.

No matter your stage or status, Prepare and Enrich can help you get clear about who you are together, what you want, and how to move forward with intention.

Our approach

All of the therapists at Integrative Couples Therapy are couples therapy specialists and bring a warm, grounded presence to this work. We combine structured feedback with relational insight, using the assessment not as a checklist—but as a jumping-off point for deeper connection.

Because our team is also trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, we understand how to help couples move beyond surface-level conversations into the real emotional work of partnership. You will feel supported, respected, and guided—not judged or evaluated.

This process is flexible. We can complete the assessment and review in just a few sessions, or continue into deeper couples work if you decide you would like more ongoing support.
