Relationship Assessments for Couples: Prepare-Enrich & SYMBIS
Which Is the Right One for You?
We offer both, and we’ll help you choose the one that best fits your relationship, goals, and timeline.
Prepare-Enrich: Deep, research-based insight across 20+ areas
SYMBIS: Practical, conversation-focused, and streamlined
Who are Relationship Assessments for?
Relationship assessments are a key part of our Premarital Counseling and Relationship Coaching programs as we work with couples to help them build a thriving and fulfilling future together. The Prepare-Enrich and SYMBIS assessments are ideal for couples who are serious about their future and want deeper insight into how they communicate, make decisions, and grow together. These tools surface both strengths and growth opportunities, providing a clear roadmap for alignment, teamwork, and long-term success.
As certified facilitators of both assessments, we match each couple to the right tool based on their stage—dating, engaged, newly married, or refining an established partnership. We then integrate the assessment seamlessly into our mentor couple-led Premarital Counseling, Pre-Engagement Coaching, Newlywed Coaching, and Marriage/Life Partner Coaching programs to support clarity, confidence, and intentional growth.
While we offer both assessments, most couples choose Prepare-Enrich for its deeper insights, guided exercises, and comprehensive relationship exploration, as well as its alignment to the structured approach afforded by our custom workbook.
What the Assessments Cover
Both Prepare-Enrich and SYMBIS explore your relationship’s current state across key dimensions:
Communication & conflict resolution
Finances & money habits
Roles, responsibilities & expectations
Family background & values
Affection & intimacy
Shared goals & meaning
After you and your partner complete your online assessment, we’ll walk through the results together in session—translating data into real, applicable insights for your daily life as a couple.

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 simply 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.

Whether we use Prepare-Enrich or SYMBIS, our goal is the same: to help you feel confident, connected, and ready for marriage.
