PREPARE/ENRICH Premarital Counseling
Bexar Family Solutions offers pre-marital counseling to meet the needs of couples preparing for marriage who want to start their commitment understanding each other on a whole new level. PREPARE/ENRICH is a program based on an assessment that examines major relationship issues a couple may experience. This program has decades of research supporting it, and is widely used in the US and many foreign countries. We participate in the Twogether in Texas program, which can save you up to $60 on your Texas marriage license fee and allows you to waive the 72-hour waiting period between obtaining your marriage license and your marraige ceremony. For details, see the Twogether in Texas website. |
Knowing your relationship strengths and challenges can help you create your best marriage.
How does this work?
After you and your partner complete an online assessment, the results are made available to the counselor, who will then meet with you for 4-6 feedback sessions.
