Build the marriage
you've envisioned.
A research-grounded, deeply personal program that prepares you not just for a wedding day — but for a lifelong partnership.
Built for couples who are serious about starting well.
The months before a wedding are full of decisions — venues, vows, guest lists. But the most important preparation isn't logistical. It's relational. Who are you, individually, and who will you choose to become together?
Our Pre-Marital Coaching Program creates the space for that conversation. Guided by two coaches and a SYMBIS-led framework — enriched with data from Prepare & Enrich and CliftonStrengths — you'll leave with genuine self-knowledge, a deeper understanding of your partner, and a shared vision for your life ahead.
- ✓You're engaged or seriously dating and want to invest proactively in your relationship.
- ✓You want real insight — not just worksheets — into who you both are.
- ✓You value strengths and want to build on what's already great.
- ✓You're ready to have the conversations that matter most.
"Couples who invest in pre-marital preparation are significantly more likely to report higher marital satisfaction and are less likely to separate in the early years of marriage."
— Journal of Family Psychology
Your Two Coaches
SYMBIS-guided, enriched by data.
The SYMBIS Assessment's five-part structure — Foundation, Context, and three Dynamics sessions — guides the conversation across all five sessions. Prepare & Enrich results are woven directly in as they unfold, and your CliftonStrengths are debriefed alongside SYMBIS Personality in Session Three.
SYMBIS Assessment
The guide for every session. Its Foundation, Context, and Dynamics modules structure how you and your coaches move from personal history through communication, conflict, and spirituality together.
Prepare & Enrich
Woven into your SYMBIS sessions as they unfold. A research-validated couple inventory that sharpens the picture on finances, communication, and conflict with hard data.
CliftonStrengths All 34
Debriefed alongside SYMBIS Personality in Session Three. Maps each partner's natural talents — individually and as a couple — then feeds directly into how you talk about love and teamwork.
Five sessions. Ten hours.
A lifetime of impact.
Built directly on the SYMBIS Five Session Format, with Prepare & Enrich and CliftonStrengths folded in along the way. Each session is two hours, sequenced so every conversation builds on the last.

Social Support, Finances & Expectations
We move into SYMBIS's Context modules: who's in your corner, how you'll manage money together, and the expectations you're each bringing into marriage — cross-referenced with your Prepare & Enrich finance data, and often the most eye-opening conversation of the program.
