Mission & Values
We desire to help relationships thrive! The world is built and runs on relationships!
We approach all of life (including relationships) from a Biblical foundation. In our own marriage relationship, we have seen the immense value of improving our communication skills and the benefits of continuing to work on our marriage. We want to work with couples who are considering engagement and marriage, couples who are married and need help, and couples who are married but realize there is always room to grow, to see lasting transformation in people’s lives. Please use the Contact Us form to connect with us!
Transforming Relationships
More than 4,000,000 couples have prepared for marriage or enriched their relationship through taking the Prepare/Enrich assessment and working with a Certified Facilitator. The assessment itself has been proven to improve relationship satisfaction; however there is something extraordinary about the relationship a Facilitator develops with a couple that truly helps the couple grow more than they would on their own.
Evidence-Based
Prepare/Enrich is one of the most widely researched assessment tools. Professors and students at colleges and universities worldwide use the scales as a tool to conduct and evaluate their research. Prepare/Enrich continues to adapt and react to the changing reality of relationships through continued research and development of assessments and resources.
A Global Community
Dr. David Olson, family science pioneer, and his wife, Karen Olson, founded Prepare/Enrich in 1980 after Dr. Olson connected theory and practice. Dr. Olson developed a method that provided counselors and clergy a framework to use with couples. Today, Prepare/Enrich is powered by a dedicated staff based in Roseville, Minnesota as well as a vast network that spans across the world. The Prepare/Enrich family is over 100,000 Certified Facilitators strong and growing every day.

Testimonial
"Having chaplains available to me, especially Ryan & Jodi, has been very beneficial. They have given me an excellent sounding board to vocalize things that have been on my mind or life events, providing me with excellent advice and perspective. Sometimes just the act of talking with someone you trust and having them listen is profoundly helpful. I greatly value the opportunity to speak with them on a regular basis. They have become friends and trusted life advisors."
