The SYMBIS Assessment (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) is a paid, professional tool designed to be administered by a certified SYMBIS facilitator. Similar to the Prepare/Enrich Assessment, it is not available for free, as it requires a licensed professional to guide couples through the results and offer personalized feedback.

How to Access the SYMBIS Assessment:

1. Find a Certified SYMBIS Facilitator:

   • Visit the official SYMBIS website to find a certified facilitator near you. The facilitator will guide you through the process of taking the assessment and reviewing the results.

2. Cost:

   • The cost of the SYMBIS Assessment typically ranges from $35 to $100, depending on the facilitator and any additional services they offer (like follow-up counseling sessions). The fee covers the assessment itself and the personalized report that you receive afterward.

3. Free or Discounted Options:

   • Some churches, community organizations, or counseling centers may offer the SYMBIS Assessment as part of their premarital or marital counseling services, sometimes at a reduced rate or for free. If you are connected to a faith community, it’s worth inquiring if they provide this service as part of their marriage preparation or counseling programs.

4. Self-Study Option:

   • While the official SYMBIS Assessment is a guided tool that requires a facilitator, you can also explore the book "Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts" by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, which offers many insights and exercises similar to those in the assessment. This can be a helpful resource if you're looking for a self-study alternative.

Unfortunately, due to the proprietary nature of the SYMBIS Assessment, there is no legal way to access it for free online.
