Abstract
Individuals married 1-8 years were surveyed to assess their perceptions of the helpfulness of marriage preparation and specific aspects of their experience. Two thirds of the respondents perceived marriage preparation as a valuable experience, but the perceived value declined with the length of marriage. Aspects of marriage preparation rated most helpful included providing time for couples to learn about each other, using a team of providers, addressing the Five Cs (communication, commitment, conflict resolution, children and church), and having 8-9 sessions.
