Army Reserve Capt. Charles Bechtold, a chaplain assigned to the 88th RSC, stands with his wife Barbara, DoD Master Trainer, during a Strong Bonds event group exercise conducted at the Hilton Oak Brook Hills Resort in Oak Brook, Ill, April 8-10. Together they led the couples through a nationally recognized curriculum called Prevention Relationship Enhancement Program, or PREP. The curriculum includes video and workbook-supported discussions and exercises centered on various aspects of communication, personalities and problem solving. “Every single marriage can benefit from this training,” said Barbara. “Every marriage can benefit from better communication, from exacting expectations, and learning how to speak and how to really listen.”
