"I believe that conflict can actually be the doorway to intimacy and deep friendship between mates. That concept is captured extremely well in Empowering Couples. I plan to do all I can to get it into the hands of thousands of couples."

author of Making Love Last Forever
Empowering Couples is built on over 20 years of clinical experience and research with couples. The foundation is the PREPARE/ENRICH Program, which is one of the most popular couple program used in the world. Over 45,000 counselors and clergy of all denominations have used this program with over 1,000,000 couples. This program has also been introduced into ten other countries.
Empowering Couples is based on a national survey of 21,501 married couples. This data was used to identify common stumbling blocks (issues) for couples. In addition, a comparison of happy and unhappy couples was done to identify the strengths of happy couples.
