The Two plus One Program is an adaptation of our traditional 3-Day, 18 hour, training. The "training" portion of the program is condensed into 12 hours so that on the third day, participants may observe an actual One-Day Couple's Workshop. Participants are asked to make themselves available during the Couple practice sessions to assist in coaching.
Just as with the traditional 3-Day, this program qualifies participants to use all supporting PREP materials. The Instructors are prepared to conduct PREP in all of the various formats (e.g., 6 week, weekend, One-Day with two evening follow-up, One-Day only, etc.).
People trained in either PREP or Christian PREP are qualified to offer both programs without additional training.
Topics to be Covered:
An extensive overview of research and theory supporting Marital Education
An overview of key risk factors for marital distress and divorce.
Communication skills training to help couples reduce negative interaction and handle conflict constructively.
A problem solving method that works.
A cognitive framework for helping couples understand and discuss expectations.
A framework for understanding, building, and maintaining commitment.
Strategies for helping couples maintain friendship, fun and intimacy.
A framework for enhancing exploring honor, respect, intimacy and forgiveness in marriage.
Christian PREP trainings integrate a theological framework of understanding for marital health and distress.
