Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP)
Enhancing and Supporting Healthy Marriages
PREP is a comprehensive education program focused on divorce prevention and marriage enhancement. This program includes a curriculum structured around skill- and principle-building, which is designed to help couples work through relationship difficulties and build stronger bonds with one another. There are two versions of the PREP curriculum, a secular and a Christian version. The curricula consist of twelve hours of mini-lectures and discussions on topics related to marriage enhancement such as:
- Communication
- Conflict management
- Forgiveness
- Expectations
Evaluations of PREP have shown that, in the long run, couples who have gone through the PREP curriculum report improvements in their marriage quality, as well as reduced divorce rates within the first three to five years after marriage. Furthermore, compared with couples who did not go through the program, PREP couples reported greater marriage satisfaction, a greater ability to communicate more effectively with one another, and fewer conflicts.
