Overview:
www.PrepInc.com
Prep, Inc. is a nationally known organization providing marriage preparation and conflict resolution resources. Prep, Inc. has done extensive research into the factors contributing to divorce, creating curriculum to address specific issues and identify potential problem areas.
“Studies strongly suggest that couples can, indeed, learn skills, complete exercises, and enhance ways of thinking--prior to marriage--that significantly increase their odds of success once married. In our own research on premarital counseling, we can track the positive effects of preventive interventions years after the marriage ceremony.”
“PREP couples have been shown to have about half the likelihood of breaking up or divorcing, have demonstrated greater relationship satisfaction, and have shown lower problem intensity”
Dr. Scott M. Stanley, Co-Director of the Center for Marital and Family Studies*
