Premarital and Marital Counseling Tools

Visualize differences and similarities before marriage.

One of the tools I use for premarital and marital counseling is SYMBIS, a 15-page report generated after each person takes a 300-question assessment.

SYMBIS is a great tool that helps structure the Premarital sessions to ensure that we discuss all the most critical marriage areas.

The report’s nature generates attractive visual graphics that help the couple remember their differences and similarities as they start their marriage.

Marriage works best with communication.

The SYMBIS+ is a similar assessment intended for those who have been married for some time.

This assessment automatically adjusts the questions asked while the participant fills out the assessment.

The SYMBIS+ report provides a platform for discussion and helps the two partners discover and put words to their feelings and behaviors throughout their marriage.

Early experiences influence relationship patterns.

Another tool I use for marriage counseling involves our Love Styles. Each person’s childhood experiences form the root characteristics of who we become in life.

These experiences set a trajectory for our life, and the relational patterns carry into adulthood and marriage.

The beauty of how God has designed us allows us to change unhealthy habits to healthy and secure ones with self-discovery and hard work.

Understanding your spouse and your relational patterns is essential for your individual and joint growth as a couple.

Let’s talk about how we could use these tools to help your marriage… at whatever level.
