What is the SYMBIS Assessment?

If you are serious about investing in your marriage, you will follow the example of Chris and Toni and take the SYMBIS Assessment. The assessment will reveal differences and similarities in the way you and your partner approach the most important components of a marriage relationship.

How it Works

1. Sign up for the SYMBIS Assessment Counseling Series.
2. Your counselor will send each partner a link to take the assessment online. Each partner should answer the questions independently.
3. For the next 10 weeks, you and your partner will meet the counselor to discuss the results of your assessment.

What Topics Will Be Covered?

  1. Your marriage momentum. This metric evaluates the mindset and commitment you have towards your marriage. 
  2. Individual Wellbeing. Your marriage can only be as good as the wellbeing of the individuals, specifically of the spouse with the less healthy well-being. Learning to take time to maintain your own personal wellbeing as well as to build one another up is an important aspect of married life.
