Marital counseling can be a challenging and scary idea. However, the results are usually well worth the effort and challenge. Having a caring yet independent third party work with you can help you gain hope and insight into your marriage. Prepare/Enrich is the tool we typically use in marital counseling, specifically the Enrich portion. Prepare/Enrich is the #1 premarital and marriage assessment tool, using evidence-based skills and insights to foster healthy relationships. Marital counseling can be adjusted to meet your time needs. Ideally ten, 45 minute sessions provide the time to go through the entire assessment and work through the topics. Your unique situation and response to treatment will dictate if more or less time is needed. Some couples do not choose to use Enrich and prefer a less structured type of session involving psychotherapy and discussion of issues. The modality of treatment is your choice and can be changed at any time. The important thing is to get started because like most things, the earlier the better!
