The Assessments
About Prepare-Enrich
Prepare-Enrich is one of the world’s most trusted, evidence-based premarital and marriage assessments. It offers a deep, data-driven look at your relationship’s strengths, stress points, and patterns of interaction.
Our 8-session program is our most comprehensive and immersive experience using the Prepare-Enrich framework, combining the official assessment with our custom workbook, guided discussions, and targeted exercises. For Texas engaged couples, completion includes a Twogether in Texas certificate for $60 off the state marriage license and waives the waiting period.

About SYMBIS
SYMBIS—Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts—is a modern, research-based assessment by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott. It’s an engaging, practical, conversation-driven snapshot designed to spark meaningful dialog between partners in a streamlined way.
We recommend SYMBIS for engaged and pre-engaged couples preferring a more conversational approach that focuses on daily relationship habits, exploration of personality differences, and practical tools for communication and understanding. Our SYMBIS program starts with three 90-minute sessions with no between-session homework, ideal for couples with limited time.

What to Expect
Here’s how the process works:
We choose the right assessment based on your relationship stage, goals, and Loran Coaching program selected.
Each partner completes the online questionnaire privately (about 30–45 minutes).
We review your results together during your sessions with us, applying them to real-life situations.
You leave with personalized insights, tools, and next steps to keep your relationship growing strong.
Why It Matters
These assessments aren’t compatibility tests to see if you’re right for each other, and they aren’t about judgment—they’re about awareness and entering marriage with your eyes wide-open. Understanding your relationship patterns now gives you the power to communicate effectively, manage conflict gracefully, and nurture a healthy, lasting marriage built on trust and intentionality.
Ready to Begin?
Whether we use Prepare-Enrich or SYMBIS, our goal is the same: to help you feel confident, connected, and ready for marriage.
