I can’t resist raving. After exploring the assessment more, taking it myself, and having my colleague walk through it with a couple premarital couples to test it out, I just have to say… you guys did an incredible job, particularly with the presentation of it. Really amazing. Just such elegant design… simple, clean, easy to understand, fun and engaging, and yet every “simple” piece packed with such rich information. Plus, such beautiful transparency. It is a mentoring game changer in that the mentees see the same thing that the mentor does. Rather than the mentor having to be the bad guy that raises red flags, the piece of paper does it… and the mentor just gets to notice it WITH them and then walk alongside them as they explore that as couple. Brilliant. All told, I’ve never seen anything like it… and my background is in counseling, so I feel like I’ve taken just about every assessment under the sun. 🙂

Any counselor that wants the best for the couples they’re working with will use the SYMBIS Assessment.
John Ponder, Family Christian Center
The SYMBIS Assessment is revolutionizing the way pastors and counselors do pre-marriage. This whole thing is so professional. Compared to any other pre-marriage assessment available today, it’s like comparing different centuries. That’s why I’m a proud SYMBIS Facilitator. See for yourself by watching the brief video.

We are sold. The SYMBIS Assessment is a powerful tool.

The SYMBIS Assessment gives us so much to talk about with our couples – and it keeps us on track, ensuring we talk about what matters most. This is exciting!
Les and Saralee Tilka, Quest Fellowship Church
Thank you for providing such a wonderful tool for our couples. They are loving it! And so are we. SYMBIS has been a huge blessing to us.
Tomi Jarrell, Gateway Church
Thank you for such a practical, worthwhile tool for couples to take prior to launching their marriage. As a certified facilitator, I particularly like having a tool where all the work has already been done. All I have to do is administer it and then help “unlock” the results for the couple. Also, there are tons of resources to help with the marketing of the assessment. Les and Leslie have done a great job equipping me to be successful.Thanks again.

I can’t imagine anyone doing pre-marriage work with a couple and not using the SYMBIS Assessment. It’s THAT good. And the training by Les and Leslie, as they demonstrate it with a real couple, makes it super easy. I can’t recommend it enough.
Roger Gibson, General Council of the Assemblies of God
Seeing the constantly expanded list of resources is like unwrapping a gift on Christmas morning!
JoNell Stanton, Champions Centre
The SYMBIS assessment is a fresh, practical and uncomplicated tool for working with couples considering marriage. The online training and resources allow us to more easily recruit and prepare mentors to work with our couples.
Jeff Small, Central Christian Church
The SYMBIS Assessment has made our pre-marriage ministry with couples so much easier and effective. We love it and so do the couples we minister to.
Jeff Pelletier, Milestone Church
All of the therapists in our counseling centers who do pre-marriage work use the SYMBIS Assessment because it’s simply the best. Practical, insightful, and engaging. Our therapists – and the couples we serve – love it!

This is an incredible resource!

SYMBIS Assessment gives couples instant insight into each other and will revolutionize the ways we all approach premarital counseling. This tool is life-changing for any couple getting married.
Jennie Allen, author of Restless and founder of IF: Gathering
One word: WOW! The research behind the SYMBIS Assessment is brilliant. I can’t wait to see the impact it has on marriages in the next generation.
Joshua Straub, Ph.D. , Author of Safe House
The SYMBIS Assessment does a great job of presenting the findings in an encouraging way and yet does not gloss over areas that may become trouble spots down the road. The SYMBIS “graduates” are entering marriage with a much stronger foundation and realistic expectations than they otherwise would.

I am floored. This is amazing. Couldn’t be more excited to use this with couples in our church. This changes the premarital world in an amazing way! It outclass everything I’ve ever seen.

This is awesome stuff, I’m so pumped! I have exactly what I need to be successful with my team.

The information on cohabitation is the best that I have seen, concise and practical.
Steve Blair, Church of the Highlands
We could not be happier with the SYMBIS Assessment. Our marriage mentor couples are being trained and certified in SYMBIS and are excited to get started. What an incredible tool this is to our church and community.
Lewis Howard, First Baptist Wichita Falls
Every engaged couple should take the SYMBIS Assessment. It’s such a wise thing to do for your relationship.
Janet Parshall, Host of In the Market with Janet Parshall
Every engaged and newlywed couple needs to read this book by Les and Leslie. And while you’re at it, don’t miss out on the incredible SYMBIS Assessment. It’s fantastic.
Shaunti Feldhahn, social researcher and best-selling author of For Women Only and For Men Only
The SYMBIS Assessment is desperately needed and long overdo. I’ve been waiting for a strong, modern pre-marriage assessment – and SYMBIS is it! The wait is over. You won’t find a better, fresher, or more intuitive tool for helping today’s couples. It’s contemporary yet thoroughly grounded in decades of research. Do yourself and the couples you work with a favor and use it. SYMBIS delivers. One of, if not THE BEST out there now. Period.
