SYMBIS is a 15 page report that has information on each persons attitude toward marriage, their goals, personality dynamics, role expectations, strengths and weakness, relationship with in-laws, relational well being, communication patterns, how they handle conflict, money, sex, and spirituality
(if applicable).
