We welcome Les and Leslie Parrott to unpack how preparation, empathy, and practical tools create stronger marriages, from the origins of SYMBIS to the launch of the four-minute Heart Chart. We explore healthy conflict, invisible rule books, and thought patterns that quietly shape connection.
• SYMBIS origin story and why premarriage prep matters
• moving from traits to state for real-time insight
• the invisible rule book and expectations
• how to fight a good fight without harm
• empathy as the core skill for repair
• toxic thoughts like irrational guilt and entitlement
• Heart Chart’s commitment and connection coordinates
• simple presence habits that boost attunement
• laughter, awareness, and small daily choices
