Why I SYMBIS
Do you remember the day you fell in love?
The day you knew he/she was the one?
Do you remember making plans and talking about the future and what it would be like when you got married? Where you would live, what kind of house you would live in, how many kids you planned on having, and even what kind of dog you wanted?
There is no manual that says, “This is how you do marriage.” But, there are things you can do to prepare, before you walk down the aisle and say, “I do.” We put so much of ourselves into the courting period and preparing for the wedding, but most of us don’t prepare for the “happily ever after, till death do us part,” of marriage. Why is that?
When I was young, I used to dream about my prince charming. I guess I grew up believing in fairy tales and that my prince charming would come and sweep me off my feet one day.
I went into marriage with big dreams, but little hope. Not because of my husband and our relationship, but because I had seen so many marriages end in divorce. Why should marriage work for me?
Fortunately for me, I do believe in true love and happily ever after. I know that if I put God at the center of my life and my marriage, God becomes the fortress of our home. The Lord says, “What God has joined together, let no man separate.”
I wanted to give my marriage every opportunity to succeed, so going through pre-marital counseling was not a question for me.
I SYMBIS because I want to help marriages thrive. I want every marriage to be the best it can be. I want to help save marriages, before they even start!
I SYMBIS because I want every couple that gets married to marry for life!
SYMBIS is a premarital assessment that helps couples start their marriage on the right path. Statistically, couples who go through premarital counseling are 31% less likely to divorce. Those are better odds than no premarital counseling at all.
SYMBIS helps couples discover:
How committed they are toward their marriage
How your individual personalities mesh together
How you can better leverage your strengths with one another
What expectations you have going into your marriage
What the unspoken rules were that you grew up with and how that may affect your marriage
Couples that take the SYMBIS assessment receive a personalized roadmap to help make their marriage work. In our session, we will talk about your:
Marriage momentum
Mindset
Wellbeing
Social support
Marital expectations
Personality strengths
Communication styles
Money styles to help fulfill your life long dreams
Leveraging conflict for a strong relationship

And most importantly, your spiritual life together
If you are thinking about marriage, now is the perfect time to ask yourself, “What will I do to start my marriage on the right foot?”
Why not start your marriage with every possible advantage?
“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other…” 1Thess. 3:12
