| If most couples
say they are happy, then why does one out of every two
couples end up divorced? |
| The Prevention
and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) was born out of
a genuine desire to help you better enjoy your relationship
now... or love your way back to the excitement you had while
you were still dating! |
| On any given
day, around 90% of couples say they were happy in their
marriage, yet the divorce rate is over 50%. How can this be?
Research suggests that marital breakdown is often like the
build-up before a mud slide. Years of erosion underneath the
ground's surface can go unnoticed - until that final
rainstorm hits. Then the whole hill comes sliding down. |
| Unfortunately,
no one goes through life "rainstorm-free." Stresses like
staying afloat financially, raising children work concerns,
planning for the future, etc... affect every couple. The
PREP Approach is designed to help you protect your marriage
from erosion, as well as regain any ground you may have
lost. |
| PREP
is for you if... |
- You're
determined to knock down those walls that creep up with
time and stress
- You want
to quit playing tug-of-war and learn to problem-solve
more effectively
- Sometimes
you'd like to shut out all of life's hassles and just be
together
- You want
romance and passion in your marriage
- You'd like
to talk together as friends
|
| Why
PREP? |
| Seventeen
years ago, at the University of Denver, Drs. Howard Markman
and Scott Stanley began one of the largest longitudinal
studies ever on what makes marriage work - and what destroys
them. What they have discovered is simply too important to
be hidden away in the archives of the research lab. Hence,
PREP. |
| PREP
is research based |
| Most of what
you hear about marriage is theory based on watching couples
in therapy. Not the Prevention and Relationship Enhancement
Program (PREP). PREP is abased on twenty years of solid
research designed to discover what makes successful
relationships. Since PREP is based on these findings, rather
than conjecture, it is much more likely to really work
in helping couples build stronger, more loving
marriages. |
| PREP
works |
| Studies have
shown that couples who learned the PREP skills had a 50%
higher success rate in staying together and were happier in
their relationships than similar couples without this
valuable training. |
| PREP
is not therapy |
| PREP is unlike
anything you've been exposed to. No encounter group or
sharing personal concerns, no dry psycho-babble... simply
thrilling insights into a more loving, growth filled
relationship! |
| PREP
offers a fresh approach |
| PREP is basic
and straightforward. The Fighting for Your Marriage
and A Lasting Promise workshops and materials share with
couples the skills they need to nurture a lasting love. |

"We had a pretty good marriage already, just the normal
wear and tear. Then we went to a PREP workshop, what a
difference! I cannot tell you what this has done for
us!!" |

gift nine years ago. This is one gift we're still using!
Thanks, Mom." |

enjoy now." |
