What is SYMBIS ?

SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) is a research-based relationship assessment designed to help couples build a strong, lasting foundation—whether you are dating, engaged, newly married, or even years into your relationship.

It goes beyond surface-level conversations by offering a personalized snapshot of your relationship, helping you better understand your personalities, communication styles, expectations, and potential growth areas.

At its core, SYMBIS is designed to do two powerful things:

  • Identify potential risk areas before they become problems

  • Highlight your strengths so you can build on them intentionally

What does SYMBIS Measure ?

SYMBIS explores the areas that matter most in long-term relationships, including:

  • Personality dynamics and how you “fit” together

  • Communication styles and conflict patterns

  • Financial perspectives and decision-making

  • Emotional health and individual wellbeing

  • Expectations around love, intimacy, and roles

  • Family background and relational influences

It helps couples understand both similarities and differences in how they approach life and relationships, which is key to long-term success.

Who is SYMBIS for ?

SYMBIS is beneficial for couples at any stage, including:

  • Premarital / engaged couples

  • Dating couples considering long-term commitment

  • Newly married couples

  • Long-term couples wanting to reconnect or strengthen their relationship

The assessment automatically adjusts to your relationship stage, so the feedback is always relevant to you.

Why Couples Choose SYMBIS ?

Couples often choose SYMBIS because it helps them:

  • Have conversations they didn’t know how to start

  • Understand each other on a deeper level

  • Prevent future conflict by addressing things early

  • Build confidence and clarity in their relationship

It’s not about finding problems—it’s about building a stronger, more intentional relationship from the start (or wherever you are now).

At Hope Crest, SYMBIS sessions are designed to feel engaging, supportive, and practical—not overwhelming or clinical.

Together, we will:

  • Break down your personalized report in a clear, meaningful way

  • Identify strengths to build on and patterns to shift

  • Learn communication and relationship tools you can actually use

  • Create a shared understanding of how to move forward as a team

Many couples describe this process as one of the first times they feel like they are truly “on the same page.”

The SYMBIS process is simple, structured, and highly personalized:

Step 1: Individual Online Assessment

Each partner completes a 30-minute online questionnaire separately to ensure honest and accurate responses.

Step 2: Personalized Report

Your answers are combined into a detailed, customized report (typically 15–16 pages) that outlines your relationship dynamics, strengths, and growth areas.

Step 3: Guided Feedback Sessions

You’ll meet with Jillian, your Certified SYMBIS Facilitator, to walk through your results, process insights, and apply them in practical ways.

Step 4: Ongoing Conversations & Skill Building

The report becomes a roadmap for meaningful conversations and skill-building sessions that strengthen your relationship over time.

Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.
