Marriage preparation & relationship programs

Congratulations! You’re engaged.

You are undertaking a great journey together and we wish you every success!

It’s time to prepare for your new life together. Getting your relationship on track now will help maintain the joy and passion well into your married life.

If your priest or celebrant requires you to complete a marriage preparation program, our courses are available in both religious and non-religious formats.

I liked how we had our own workbook and the

comprehensive report. It made us realise we’re planning a

marriage, not just a wedding.

For over 30 years, PREPARE/ENRICH has helped couples strengthen their relationships. It has empowered and energised more than 3 million couples!

You’ll meet with a facilitator trained to provide feedback by helping you understand your results and you’ll learn important relationship skills. Built on a solid research foundation, PREPARE/ENRICH has been improved and refined over the years to become one of the best, most effective, easy-to-use relationship assessment tools available.

PREPARE/ENRICH will:• Identify strength and growth areas• Explore personality traits• Strengthen communication skills• Resolve conflicts and reduce stress• Compare family backgrounds• Comfortably discuss financial issues• Establish personal, couple and family goals

This program is available at our Waitara Family Centre only.

Internationally recognised for providing couples with insights into their relationship now, and tools for a happy future, this program helps couples learn more about themselves and their relationship.

Couples respond individually to a survey exploring topics such as:• Communication• Dual careers• Extended family• Finances• Friends and interests• Intimacy• Lifestyle expectations• Parenting• Problem-solving• ReligionThese responses are then compared, with areas of strengths and areas for growth highlighted and discussed in feedback sessions with an accredited Relationship Educator.

FOCCUS pre-marriage education is not counselling. It is not a test that a couple ‘passes’ or ‘fails’. It is designed to provide an understanding of what you and your partner will bring into your marriage.

Based over two sessions, FOCCUS is offered at our Waitara, Naremburn & Brookvale Centres. All bookings are made via our Waitara Family Centre.

Cost: $350 per couple. ($300 for the program and $50 for the assessment)
