SYMBIS PREMARITAL COUNSELLING

Giving your Marriage a Smart Start

Is Premarital Counselling for you? 

​

Here are a few facts: 

1. 76% of married couples say they wish they had pre-marriage education.  

2. Couples who do not receive pre-marriage education are more likely to see their problems as atypical and unsolvable. 

3. 41% of divorced couples say lack of pre-marriage preparation contributed to their divorce. 

​​

So does pre-marriage counselling work? Absolutely. Research conclusively shows that couples who succeed gain the knowledge they need before they settle into destructive patterns that often lead to divorce. In fact, couples are 31% less likely to get divorced if they get some sort of pre-marriage training before they marry. Not only that, couples who participate in pre-marriage programs experience a 30% increase in marital success and fulfilment over those who do not participate.

I am a certified SYMBIS Assessment Facilitator and I'm passionate about giving couples a smart start. The Assessment is online and will take each of you around 30 minutes to complete (separately). The report will then be generated we will be able to go through the report together over a number of sessions. We can usually complete pre-marital counselling in 6 – 10 sessions, depending on the couple, the number of issues and our pace. Some topics that we will cover include: 

​

• Marriage Mindset

• Self-concept and Personality 

• Longevity and Stability

• Stress

• Unrealistic Expectations

• In-law Relationships
