The Professional Value of Preventive Relationship Training
The platform has developed a specialized PREPARE/ENRICH premarital assessment module that simulates 167 typical conflicts that may arise during the first five years of marriage. Designed with the participation of marriage therapists, the module includes a basic question bank to assess communication styles of both partners, a conflict resolution model quiz, and a "stress inoculation training" to simulate major challenges such as parenting disagreements. The system generates a "Marriage Risk Map" that visualizes potential conflict points that require special attention (e.g., values differences of 30% or higher are marked in red). A 12-week "Honeymoon Escort Program" is provided, with daily 5-minute communication micro-exercises from proven preventive intervention programs. Engaged users can enable two-person mode, which generates a compatibility report comparing the differences between their simulated responses.
