Pre-Marital Coaching

Build a Strong Foundation for a Lifetime Together

Marriage is more than a beautiful ceremony—it’s a sacred journey. At Inkpad Coaching, I help engaged couples move beyond the wedding day and into a marriage built on trust, understanding, and shared vision.

Using the proven SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) Premarital Assessment, I guide couples through a personalized coaching experience that brings clarity, connection, and practical tools to navigate the road ahead. Whether you’ve been dating for years or are newly engaged, this is your chance to prepare with intention—not just hope for the best.

Whether you’re an engaged couple seeking pre-marital coaching or a pastor looking for a trusted coach to guide a couple in your care, we offer high-quality, Christ-centered coaching to help lay a strong foundation for a lasting marriage.

Why Pre-Marital Coaching Matters

Every couple enters marriage with expectations, communication styles, family dynamics, and dreams for the future. Too often, these stay unspoken until stress, conflict, or misunderstanding brings them to the surface.

Pre-marital coaching provides a safe space to:

  • Talk about what matters before it becomes a conflict
  • Learn how your personalities complement—and challenge—each other
  • Build spiritual and emotional intimacy
  • Clarify your approach to finances, family, decision-making, and more
  • Develop communication tools that grow your connection instead of eroding it

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s preparation. Coaching helps you face the future not with fear, but with faith and friendship.

What is SYMBIS?

Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts

The SYMBIS Assessment is a research-based, faith-informed inventory designed by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott to help couples explore key areas of compatibility and growth. It’s not a test—it’s a conversation starter, customized to your unique relationship.

Once you both complete the online SYMBIS assessment, we’ll walk through a series of sessions to explore:

  • Personality & Communication: Learn how you’re wired—and how to speak each other’s language
  • Family Backgrounds: Understand how your past shapes your expectations of marriage
  • Spiritual & Emotional Alignment: Explore your faith journey and how it anchors your relationship
  • Money, Roles, and Conflict: Talk through real-life issues with honesty and grace
  • Sex & Intimacy: Lay a healthy foundation for physical and emotional connection

Each session is tailored to your needs—whether you want to move slowly and reflect deeply or work through essentials over a few focused meetings.

What to Expect

As a certified SYMBIS facilitator and seasoned pastor, I bring both professional insight and personal care to our time together. You’ll never be rushed, judged, or given canned advice. Instead, you’ll receive:

  • A personalized SYMBIS report and framework
  • 4–6 sessions of guided coaching (in person or virtual)
  • Space for laughter, learning, and honest conversation
  • Tools and exercises you can use for years to come
  • Optional integration of Christian marriage principles (based on your comfort and desire)

Pre-marital coaching isn’t just for couples who are struggling—it’s for couples who care. If you’re committed to starting strong and staying connected, this is your next step.
