Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts
Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts (SYMBIS) is a comprehensive marriage program designed specifically for today’s couples by a couple. It is both faith based and research based. It is based on the book written by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, a husband-and-wife team who not only share the same name, but the same passion for helping others build healthy relationships.
First published in 1995, and continually revised and updated, SYMBIS has become the gold standard in marriage preparation. Drs. Les & Leslie Parrotts’ award-winning approach incorporates twenty years of feedback, research, and professional experience.
SYMBIS is the most widely used marriage education system in existence and is a great way to invest in your marriage. Over 2,000,000 couples have gone through pre-marital counseling using the SYMBIS curriculum and over 200,000 pastors and counselors are using this curriculum to offer pre-marital counseling today.
This group will meet at the church on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:00 PM for ten consecutive weeks with the first meeting being Tuesday September 22. In addition, the group will also participate in a Fun experience and a Serve experience with NH Missions.
