Relationship Assessments: Prepare-Enrich & SYMBIS
Personalized insight for stronger communication, deeper understanding, and lasting connection. A key part of our Premarital Counseling programs.
Why We Use Relationship Assessments
Every couple brings unique strengths and growth areas to their relationship. Tools like Prepare-Enrich and SYMBIS help reveal those dynamics early—so you can build on what’s working and address challenges before they become roadblocks.
At Loran Coaching, we’re certified facilitators for both programs and choose the assessment that best fits your needs. Whether you’re engaged, newly married, or strengthening your marriage foundation, these proven tools help you understand each other better and communicate more effectively.
While each tool has its own format, both explore key areas that make or break relationships:
Communication and conflict resolution
Finances and money management
Roles and expectations
Family background and values
Affection and intimacy
Spiritual beliefs and shared meaning
After completing the assessment, we review your results together during your sessions. You’ll receive practical insights and strategies—not just scores—to help you grow as a couple.
