Premarital Services-SYMBIS Premarital Education

Non-Clinical Mental Health Support Services for Couples Preparing for Marriage

Marriage is sacred and meaningful, and preparation matters. The SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) Premarital Program provides structured guidance to help couples build emotional awareness, strengthen communication, and prepare for a lifelong commitment with clarity and confidence.

Through SYMBIS, I provide non-clinical mental health support services, offering education, relational guidance, and structured conversations that equip couples to prepare mentally, emotionally, and relationally for marriage. These services support mental and emotional well-being while remaining distinct from therapy or licensed clinical treatment.

What Is SYMBIS?

SYMBIS is a research-based, Christian premarital assessment that highlights your relational strengths, personality dynamics, communication patterns, expectations, conflict styles, spiritual alignments, and potential growth areas.
It gives you a customized roadmap that offers insights, practical tools, and meaningful conversations designed to prepare couples not just for the wedding-but for the marriage.

This process isn’t counseling—it’s structured, educational support designed to help couples build wisdom, unity, and intentional preparation before saying “I do.”

What to Expect From SYMBIS Premarital Coaching

Our SYMBIS Premarital Coaching experience is designed to give you clarity, confidence, and Christ-centered preparation for marriage. The program combines a research-based assessment, guided coaching, and practical tools to help you build a strong emotional and spiritual foundation.

Step 1: Complete the SYMBIS Assessment

Both partners independently complete a detailed, online assessment that reveals personality dynamics, strengths, growth areas, and relational patterns.

Step 2: Review Your Personalized SYMBIS Report

You’ll receive a customized report that outlines your communication styles, conflict approaches, emotional tendencies, and shared values. This report provides insights that shape your coaching sessions and guides your conversations.

In faith-based, supportive sessions, you will explore:

How your personalities complement and challenge each other
How to communicate in ways that build connection
How to resolve conflict with empathy and grace

Marriage was the first human institution established by God (Genesis 2:24).

• Marriage is intended to be permanent (Matthew 19:6; Mark 10:9).

• Marriage is not merely a human agreement; it is a relationship before God (Genesis 2:22).

• Marriage is the most intimate of all human relationships (Genesis 2:23-25).

• Marriage is a relationship of self-giving of one human being to another (Ephesians 5:25-30).

• Marriage is exclusive (Genesis 2:22-25; 1 Corinthians 7:2-5).

BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING OF COVENANT

From a biblical point of view, it’s also important to note that God established marriage as a covenant, not a contract (Malachi 2:14; Proverbs 2:16-17). The difference? At least three distinctions:

• A covenant is based on trust between parties while a contract is based on distrust.

• A covenant is based on unlimited responsibility while a contract is based on limited liability.

• A covenant cannot be broken if new circumstances occur while a contract can be voided by mutual consent.

This type of marriage covenant was ordained by God to provide believers with a picture of Christ's love and relationship to His church (Ephesians 5:22-33; Revelation 21:2, 9).

BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE GIFTS OF MARRIAGE

The covenant of marriage promises several benefits to couples who follow God’s Word:

• Companionship. The affection, love, and true companionship which grow out of a oneness of spirit as each partner models Christ's unconditional love. (Amos 3:3).

• Enjoyment. The physical relationship reflects the loyalty and affection shared among marriage partners who have become "One flesh." (Hebrews 13:4).

• Fruitfulness. The blessing of children in a marriage relationship allows that relationship to reproduce itself physically.

(Genesis 1:28; I Peter 3:7).
