The Pre-Marital Foundation Experience
A six-month journey for modern couples ready to design a marriage that lasts a lifetime.
Most couples spend months planning the perfect wedding. But what about all the days that come after? What if you gave the same care and attention to preparing for your marriage?
Marriage is more than vows and celebrations; it’s a lifelong partnership that thrives when built with care, clarity, and connection.
This is your invitation to slow down, take a breath, and intentionally explore what it means to build a life together.
This Pre-Marital Coaching Programme is designed to help you step into marriage not just in love, but equipped with the skills, insights, and shared vision to make that love last.
Build a Love That Lasts a Lifetime Before You Say “I Do”
Most couples spend months planning the perfect wedding. But few take the time to prepare for what truly matters, the marriage that follows.
Marriage is more than vows and celebrations; it’s a lifelong partnership that flourishes when built with clarity, care, and emotional connection.
This is your invitation to pause, reflect, and build the foundation for a marriage that grows stronger with time.
The Pre-Marital Foundation Experience is designed to help you step into marriage not only in love, but equipped with the awareness, communication, and shared vision to make that love endure.
Build a Love That Lasts a Lifetime Before You Say “I Do”
Does This Sound Familiar?
You’re in love, deeply committed, yet beneath the excitement, a few quiet uncertainties remain.
Avoid Difficult Conversations
Disagree About Money or Avoid It Altogether
Talking about money, family, intimacy, and long-term goals can feel risky, so many couples put them off. The problem? Avoidance now often turns into conflict later.
Money is one of the top stressors in marriage. Whether it’s different spending styles, hidden debt, or never quite getting around to talking about it, financial disconnection can create deep divides.
Lack a Shared Vision
Struggle with Family & In-Law Boundaries
Without clarity on your values, priorities, and roles, it’s easy to drift apart instead of growing together. Alignment early on creates a stronger, more united marriage.
Differing traditions, expectations, or family dynamics can cause tension, especially as you’re figuring out how to create your own path as a couple.
These aren’t signs of a broken relationship.
They’re invitations to create clarity, trust, and deep connection before you say “I do.”
That’s exactly what pre-marital coaching makes possible.
Imagine This Instead…
By the end of our time together, you and your partner will:
01
See each other more clearly
Deepen your understanding of one another’s personalities, mindsets, and love languages.
02
Cultivate tools for lifelong connection
Communicate with openness, navigate conflict with calm confidence, and meet one another’s needs with empathy.
03
Stand on a stronger foundation
Build resilience, trust, and harmony that support you through every season of life.
04
Celebrate your uniqueness Transform your differences into balance, joy, and depth within your relationship.
What begins as preparation becomes the art of partnership, the quiet confidence that your marriage is not left to chance, but designed to last.
Why This Programme Is Different?
This isn’t traditional pre-marital counselling, it’s a bespoke experience for modern couples ready to deepen their understanding and build their marriage with intention. At the heart of our work is the SYMBIS Assessment (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts), a world-renowned, research-based framework that reveals how your personalities, expectations, and values can complement one another to create lifelong connection. Think of it not as a test, but as a mirror, reflecting your strengths, your differences, and the growth that becomes possible when you truly understand each other.
But we don’t stop there. This experience also draws on evidence-based methods from psychology, communication science, and mindset coaching, offering you practical tools that are both grounded in research and simple to weave into your daily life together.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1:
Initial Consultation
We’ll begin with a calm, no-pressure conversation where you can share your story, your hopes for marriage, and the challenges you’d like to explore. I’ll introduce my approach and the tools we’ll use, ensuring you feel informed and supported from the very start. Together, we’ll create a personalised roadmap for your journey.
Step 2: The SYMBIS Assessment
You’ll each complete the SYMBIS Assessment, a world-renowned, research-backed tool that takes about 40 minutes per person. It reveals your unique strengths, differences, and growth areas, giving us a clear, personalised foundation for our work together.
Step 3:
Deep-Dive Sessions
Over the coming months, we’ll meet for a series of focused, intentional sessions, each designed to strengthen a different dimension of your relationship. Together, we’ll explore: Mindset & Emotional Wellbeing, Communication & Conflict Styles, Expectations & Unspoken Rules, Personality Dynamics & Love Languages, Shared Values, Intimacy & Financial Harmony. Every conversation blends insight with practical strategy, so the tools we discuss become habits you can live by.
Step 4: Your Marriage Manual
At the end of our journey, you’ll walk away with your own “Marriage Manual”, a beautifully crafted guide capturing your shared vision, agreed strategies, and key insights from our work. It’s a resource you can revisit again and again as you continue to grow together.

WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING
TESTIMONIALS
"We thought we were already doing well as a couple, but this programme took us to a level of connection we didn’t even know was possible. The conversations Cristina guided us through uncovered things we’d never discussed — not because we were avoiding them, but because we didn’t know how to start. Now, we communicate with so much more honesty and empathy. We’ve learned how to listen without defensiveness, to dream without fear, and to navigate disagreements without losing our closeness. The Marriage Manual we created is something we’ll keep and return to for the rest of our lives. I feel so much more confident walking into marriage knowing we have the tools to handle anything together."

FQA
SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) is a world-renowned, research-based tool that gives us a personalised roadmap for your relationship. It highlights your strengths, reveals blind spots, and uncovers potential friction points so we can address them with insight and intention before they ever become roadblocks.
We’ll meet twice a month for 75 minutes, giving you dedicated time to deepen your connection. Between sessions, you’ll have space to integrate what you’ve learned, most practices weave seamlessly into daily life, so it’s less about doing more and more about showing up with intention. You’ll also receive optional resources and exercises to explore together, offering gentle guidance without pressure.
Not at all. While many of my clients are engaged, I also work with long-term couples who are committed to building a strong foundation before taking the next step or simply want to be more intentional about the relationship they already have.
Absolutely. In fact, this is the best time to start. It’s easier (and far more enjoyable) to strengthen your connection, clarify your vision, and build healthy patterns before challenges arise, rather than waiting until you’re in conflict.
That’s completely normal. Many people aren’t sure what to expect at first. The Connection Call is a gentle, pressure-free way for both of you to meet me, experience the space I create, and ask questions. Once they see it’s not about blame or “fixing” anyone, but about building something great together, most partners relax quickly.
Disagreements are not only normal, they can be incredibly valuable. I’ll guide you through them with curiosity and respect, helping you both feel heard while also finding common ground. The aim isn’t to avoid conflict, but to learn how to navigate it in ways that bring you closer.
Differences are natural, every couple has them. What matters is how you navigate them. If we discover areas where you see things differently, we’ll approach them with curiosity, respect, and practical tools. Sometimes these differences become opportunities to strengthen your connection, learn new ways of supporting each other, and even deepen your appreciation for what makes you unique as a couple. The goal isn’t to erase your differences, but to make sure they work for your relationship rather than against it.
Yes. Many couples choose to have quarterly or annual check-ins after the programme, or book short-term support during big life transitions. My goal is to be a trusted partner for your relationship, not just before your wedding, but for years to come.
If you discover early on that this isn’t the right path for you, you’ll only pay for the sessions you’ve already had, no push, no pressure. That’s exactly why we begin with a complimentary Connection Call: to ensure you feel confident and informed before committing. If, within the first month, it becomes clear that another approach would serve you better, we’ll talk through the best next steps together. My priority is always that you receive the right kind of support for your relationship.
