What is the PREP Approach?
The Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) is a research-based approach to teaching couples how to communicate effectively, work as a team to solve problems, manage conflicts without damaging closeness, and preserve and enhance love, commitment, and friendship.
|
|
PREP Approach is based on 20 years of research in the field of marital health and success, with much of the specific research conducted at the University of Denver over the past 15 years.
Study of the research has focused specifically on what happy couples do right and what unhappy couples do wrong. One focus of this work has been on how to take this information and teach couples skills and attitudes associated with marital success. Because of its roots in solid research and a very striaghtforward approach, PREP has received a great deal of attention from couples, religious leaders, marriage counselors, and the media (including segments on Oprah, 20/20, 48 Hours, and many others). PREP (and the Christian version of PREP called "C-PREP") are designed to teach couples how to prevent divorce and preserve a lasting love.

The learning model employed in the PREP Approach is educational, with the focus on teaching couples the kidns of attitudes and actions that make for marital success. PREP is a proven training program where couples can learn powerful, proven strategies to build a strong, happy, healthy marriage.
