The Pre-Marriage Course is a series of five sessions to help seriously dating, engaged couples or those exploring the possibility of marriage, build strong foundations for their future together. Check out upcoming events below.

SYMBIS Assessment and Coaching will help you identify skills and strengths to provide insights which will help you begin your new marriage journey on a solid foundation. For $35 you can take an online assessment called SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) and our team of certified facilitators will go over your personalized report in private meetings and offer mentoring during the first year of your marriage.  If you attempt to take the assessment at the SYMBIS website it will ask you to select a facilitator from their list. The facilitators listed are not on Mariners team and will charge a fee for their time.

To get connected with a SYMBIS facilitator, please email [email protected].
