How to have relationship success with Prepare-Enrich?

Danny and Michelle had set a date and were planning their wedding.

He believed what he’d heard, A happy wife means a happy life.
So he let her take the reins.

When we first met, Michelle was happily running the show.

They hadn’t considered what that might look like 10, 15, 20 years down the road. My job was to let them know about findings of marital research, then help them learn and develop the skills they would need to create a healthy marriage.

We used Prepare-Enrich to help them meet their goals.

The Marriage Trap

If you're feeling trapped in your marriage, and nothing you've tried has worked, chances are it's not a lack of effort. It’s simply because one essential piece of the puzzle has been missing. 

Most couples have tried everything they can think of to fix their marriage.

They've read books, attended seminars, gone on retreats, and tried counseling.
But nothing has changed. In many ways, it feels like it's only getting worse.

If that describes you and/or your mate, the problem isn’t a lack of effort

 You feel confused and powerless. You're doing the best you can, but your mate isn't satisfied with your efforts. It isn't long before you start backing up. You get smaller and smaller in the relationship. Everything you think, do, and feel is about avoiding conflict. And the real you disappears. 

It happens to everyone at one time or another.
But when it becomes a way of life, you feel trapped in your marriage. 

But you don't have to figure it out alone — you don't have to stay stuck.
