What is PREP?

The Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) is based on 25 years of research, most of which has been conducted at the University of Denver.  While most people want a satisfying marriage that lasts a lifetime, couples today have a fifty percent chance of getting divorced.  Many other couples wind up staying together but end up unhappy for years.  The PREP approach is for all couples, from the newly involved to the long time partners, who want to learn the specific skills essential to a lasting love.  Unlike other programs, PREP is NOT therapy or an encounter group experience.  You will NOT be asked to share your personal concerns with the class. PREP is a straight forward educational approach that teaches couples the skills and attitudes associated with good relationships.

The PREP  Seminar!

The PREP Seminar is a quick paced (and often humorous) day of offering many practical strategies for making marriage great.  It teaches the core communication aspects of PREP with entertaining presentations including the use of video to demonstrate the concepts.  The topics covered are from the PREP Approach book titled Fighting for Your Marriage by Dr's. Markman and Stanley.  The topics include: how to communicate clearly and safely, what men and women want differently from marriage, the 4 biggest mistakes couples make, how to solve problems as a team, and how to preserve and enhance fun, friendship and intimacy in your marriage, and much more.

Who Presents the Seminar?

Tom A. Strohl, professional counselor and psychologist, personally presents the seminar.  Most of his office time is spent counseling couples with a special emphasis on helping them communicate effectively.  Tom is most interested in understanding what happy and healthy couples do that works, and how to effectively teach that to others.  This interest has led him to Denver, where he was trained in the PREP Approach by it's founders, Dr's. Howard Markman and Scott Stanley.
