(TBD) PREPARE/ENRICH Training for pastors, counselors, & mentors

PREPARE/ENRICH, developed by David Olson, is a diagnostic questionnaire that assesses the strengths and growth areas of an engaged or married couple's relationship. The individuals fill out the form separately online, and the results are instantly computer scored, producing a 26-page report on the relationship for the facilitator. The results can be used to discuss issues or concerns that need to be talked about by the couple prior to getting married – things they may not have even thought about discussing before. For married couples, it may open up areas for discussion and possible conflict resolution. Either way, it is sure to generate some interesting conversations.

Union 28: Fashions That Promote Healthy Marriage

Union28 is a company that promotes strong marriages. The amount of advertising one is exposed to daily is mind-boggling. In the midst of a culture that uses clothing as a vital instrument of advertisement, Union28 uses this tool to send a positive message about marriage. MACV and Union28 are in the battle together to fight for healthy marriages and families. Marriage is sometimes difficult, and the couple that started Union28 understands that truth. Greg and Latonya went through some tough times in their own marriage and decided to start this company to reach out and encourage others in an area where they have personally experienced struggle. They use the power of positive thinking with slogans such as "my wife rocks." Love is an action and choosing to think and talk positively about your spouse helps you to love them despite their failures.
