Marriage is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make. Yet couples often spend more time preparing for the wedding than preparing for the life they'll share afterward.

 

Whether you're dating and seriously considering marriage, already engaged, or recently married, this is an opportunity to slow down and have some of the conversations that matter before life gets more complicated.

We'll talk about your strengths, your differences, your expectations, and the patterns you're already creating together.

The goal isn't to find out whether you're perfectly compatible.

 

It's to understand each other better and learn how to build a healthy marriage with the person you love.

CERTIFIED SYMBIS FACILITATOR

SYMBIS Premarital Coaching

SAVING YOUR MARRIAGE BEFORE IT STARTS

​

SYMBIS gives us a structured way to explore your relationship through an assessment completed by both partners. Rather than giving you a simple compatibility score, it helps us identify areas such as your personalities, communication styles, expectations, attitudes toward money, family backgrounds, relationship dynamics, and other factors that can affect your marriage.

 

We'll use your results as a starting point for conversations specifically about your relationship.

 

Don't worry! It's not about passing or failing a test. It's about understanding the person you're choosing to marry and giving both of you better tools for the marriage you're building.

A Christian Perspective

For Christian couples, preparing for marriage involves more than learning communication techniques.

 

Faith shapes how we understand commitment, forgiveness, sexuality, family, service, and the meaning of marriage itself.

 

My Christian faith is naturally part of the way I approach these conversations. We can talk openly about faith, questions, values, and the kind of Christian marriage you want to build.

 

And because sexual intimacy is an area of my coaching practice, we can also have honest conversations about sex without embarrassment or avoiding the subject.

Start building your marriage before the wedding.
