Symbis for Couples
“So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday.”
~ Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
What is SYMBIS?
SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) is an online assessment for couples who are premarital, marital, or even those who are seeking remarriage. This assessment was created by Drs. Les M.A., Ph.D., and Leslie Parrott, who are therapists in the field of psychology. The assessment was first published in 1995 and continues to be updated based on new evidence and research in the field.

The SYMBIS has been shown to improve relationships and strengthen the trust between partners. Over the years since it has been published, the amount of evidence that has been provided is astonishing. While the divorce rate in America is about 50%, the SYMBIS assessment has decreased this rate by 31% for premarital couples. Also, the results from the assessment can predict whether a couple will end up divorcing with 87% accuracy.

While any couple can take the SYMBIS assessment, it tends to focus on personality, upbringing, financials, communication, faith, and more. It has been shown to help strengthen relationships by providing feedback about many topics couples have failed to discuss. The assessment typically takes about a half hour to complete for each partner and then provides a list of the strengths and weaknesses of the relationship. A therapist will then go over any key differences through sessions and help work out any problem areas and enhance areas of strength.
