Carpenter Couple & Family Counseling, PLLC
Erica Carpenter, Ph.D., LMFT-S
Prepare/Enrich
You’re planning for a future together—now is the time to invest in the relationship that will carry you forward. Whether you’re engaged, newly married, or seriously considering a long-term commitment, premarital therapy helps you prepare not just for a wedding, but for a lifetime of growth, connection, and partnership. As a PREPARE/ENRICH facilitator, Erica will use the evidence-based PREPARE/ENRICH program to explore your relationship’s strengths, growth areas, and what it takes to thrive together—long after the honeymoon phase.
​
What Is Prepare/Enrich?
PREPARE/ENRICH is a research-backed assessment tool designed to help couples deepen their understanding of one another and develop practical relationship skills. It’s customized to your unique relationship and covers key areas like:
​
-
Communication & conflict resolution
-
Financial attitudes & decision-making
-
Family dynamics & expectations
-
Personality & stress management
-
Spiritual beliefs & values
-
Intimacy, affection, and roles
As part of the PREPARE/ENRICH process, each partner takes an assessment that will provide a snapshot of your relationship in the above areas. You will then join Erica for a number of feedback sessions where she will help you focus in on the areas that are most relevant to you and learn skills to build a strong, healthy relationship.
What it looks like:
1. Each partner takes an online assessment that measures various areas of your relationship.
2. Erica will receive a report of the assessment results and will use these results to focus on the areas most relevant to your relationship needs.
3. Both partners will receive a workbook in the first feedback session, which will be used throughout sessions to learn and practice new relationship skills.
4. You and Erica will work on relevant areas over the course of your feedback sessions.
​
Investment:
$45 up front to cover assessment registration and a workbook for each partner
$200 per feedback session
​​
Erica is also a Twogether in Texas service provider. This means that upon the completion of 8 feedback sessions, you will receive a certificate that can be presented to a Texas county clerk for up to $60 off your marriage license fee and waiving of the 72-hour waiting period.
