PRE-MARRIAGE COURSE CONTENT

Why Marriage Preparation?
 

Over the last 30 years marital researchers have discovered that marital success is not a matter of luck, nor is marital failure a matter of mystery. Using a growing knowledge base, the best practices in marriage education are scientifically based, regularly refined using ongoing scientific findings and field experience, and have demonstrated beneficial effects in accordance with scientific standards for dissemination, PREP® is one such programme that has been studied intensively, including long-term outcome studies by six different research teams in four different countries.

The Core Assumptions of PREP®
 

The key is to PREVENT serious problems from developing in the first place.

By knowing what best PREDICTS divorce/separation or marital dissatisfaction, you will know more about what makes for successful marriages.

Many things are associated with increased chances of divorce/separation, including many that are hard or impossible to change: young age, some personality differences, parental divorce, etc.

How couples communicate and handle conflict say the most about who will have a great marriage and who will go on to have difficulties.

All couples will have problems. It’s how you handle them that counts most for your future.
