The best time to start working on your marriage is before it begins.

87%

87% of young adults said they plan on being married, and 82% expect to be married to the same partner for life. Yet, nearly half of all marriages end in divorce – with the majority ending in the first 8 years.

So, you’ve found someone to spend your life with… now what?

When Sandra and I met, there was an immediate spark. It wasn’t long into dating before we started discussing our future together. There was just no doubt we were meant for each other. We saw it. Our friends saw it. Our families saw it. So, after four years of dating our engagement came as no surprise to anyone.

Despite every green light along the way, we discovered something …

We were very in love … and very unprepared.
Oh boy were we unprepared!

In fact, our years of helping hundreds of couples has taught us that most are just as unprepared as we were. Many of us enter marriage with sweet, doe-eyed innocence; too busy picking out dishes to notice the biggest pitfalls in our relationships. Even the most pragmatic of couples can miss signs that point to trouble ahead. The rose-colored glasses of engagement make it so easy to miss the glaring red flags that are meant to prepare us for reality.

Pre-Marital Counseling Program can save your marriage before it starts. In fact, over 40% of divorced couples say a lack of pre-marriage preparation contributed to their separation.

Tragically, too many of us enter into “happily ever after” with harmful misconceptions and wrong expectations. We believe there’s nothing more beautiful than a great marriage; It’s the goal of everyone who walks the aisle. And, we believe it’s a goal everyone can achieve with the right tools. That’s why we recommend SYMBIS to our clients.

SYMBIS – Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts

Over 1,000,000 couples and 100,000 pastors and counselors can’t be wrong. SYMBIS is the most widely used pre-marriage system in existence.

Our goal as Marriage Coaches and SYMBIS Facilitators is to give you a solid foundation on which to build your new life together. We do this by guiding you through the “Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts” curriculum by Doctors Les and Leslie Parrott while offering our own practical insight from over two decades of marriage.

How’s it work?

Any couple – seriously dating, engaged, even newly married couples – can benefit from the SYMBIS Assessment. To get started, you need an invitation from a Certified SYMBIS Facilitator … hey, that’s us!

But, first things first. We usually start with an informal chat over coffee. We’ll to answer any questions you have about us, the assessment, and our approach to counseling. There’s no awkwardness, no pressure, and definitely no commitment. Best of all, there’s no cost. If you want to move forward, GREAT. If not, that’s GREAT too! We’ll gladly recommend other counselors who can lead you through SYMBIS.

After our meeting, you and your fiancé will receive your assessment invitations via email. The assessment itself takes 30-45 minutes and you’ll want to do this alone – the fewer distractions, the better.

The completed assessment is forwarded directly to us. That’s it! Start scheduling your 1-hour sessions and we’ll move at your pace. We usually meet 5 or 6 times to unpack your personalized 15-page report.

To prepare for each session, we highly recommend reading the “Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts” book and completing the companion workbooks. All three are books can be purchased from our Resources page.
