Before you build something together, it helps to know exactly what you're working with.
why you might be here
Maybe you're engaged or newly committed, and you want to go into your relationship with clarity rather than assumptions. Maybe you're preparing for the transition into parenthood and wondering how it will shift things between you. Or perhaps you've been together for years and you're realizing there are dimensions of your relationship you've never actually mapped together, things like finances, family of origin patterns, parenting values, or how you each handle conflict when things get hard.
The Prepare & Enrich Assessment isn't just a quiz. It's a comprehensive, research-backed tool that surfaces the areas of your relationship where you're strongly aligned and the areas where growth or conversation is still needed. Many couples are surprised by what comes up, and most find it genuinely clarifying rather than alarming.
how therapy helps
At Providence, we use the Prepare & Enrich Assessment as a starting point for guided couples work, not simply a report to hand over. A trained facilitator walks you through your results with care and context, helping you understand what they mean for your specific relationship and what, if anything, you'd like to address together. The conversation the assessment opens up is often as valuable as the data itself.
Whether you're completing the assessment as a standalone process or as part of ongoing couples counselling, we bring our trauma-informed and attachment-focused lens to the experience. That means we're not just looking at scores. We're listening for the story underneath and helping you use what you learn to build a relationship that's grounded in genuine understanding rather than optimism alone.

Prepare & Enrich is one of the most widely used and research-supported couples assessment tools available. It measures relationship dynamics across a range of categories including communication, conflict resolution, finances, sexual expectations, parenting, family of origin, and more. The results generate a personalized couple profile that forms the basis of facilitated sessions with a trained provider. It has been used with millions of couples worldwide and has strong evidence supporting its effectiveness in improving relationship satisfaction.
The assessment is appropriate for couples at many stages, including those who are dating seriously, engaged, newly married, or preparing for parenthood. There are also versions designed for couples who are parenting together, whether married or not. If you're wondering whether this is the right fit for where you are, a brief discovery call can help clarify that.
No. While Prepare & Enrich is commonly associated with premarital preparation, it is equally valuable for committed couples who simply want a clearer picture of their relationship. We work with couples at many different stages and relationship structures.
Each partner completes the online assessment independently, which typically takes around 45 minutes. From there, facilitated sessions are used to review and discuss the results together. The number of sessions varies depending on what comes up and how much depth you'd like to go into. Most couples complete the facilitated portion in two to four sessions.
That's exactly what the assessment is designed to do, and it's not cause for alarm. Identifying differences before they become entrenched patterns is genuinely valuable. Our facilitators are trained to help you work through what surfaces in a way that feels constructive rather than critical. For couples who want to continue the work beyond the assessment, we can transition into ongoing couples counselling.
Yes, completely. Your assessment results and everything discussed in facilitated sessions are held with the same confidentiality as any therapeutic relationship at Providence. The only exception is the standard limits to confidentiality that apply in all clinical settings, which your therapist will review with you at the outset.
