Making Marriage Work | 3 essential tips for a stronger relationship

from Doing Life with Ken and Tabatha · host Ken Claytor and Tabatha Claytor

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a marriage teeters on the edge of collapse? Ken and Tabatha Claytor don't hold back as they reveal the raw truth about their first two years of marriage—when Ken had already planned to divorce Tabitha and she was battling severe depression. This powerful episode takes you on their 25-year journey from those desperate early days to the thriving relationship they enjoy today. With refreshing honesty, they share how Tabitha's miraculous deliverance from depression became a turning point, allowing her to "pump the brakes" on their divorce and begin rebuilding what seemed irreparably broken.The Claytors distill their hard-won wisdom into three essential principles that have transformed their marriage: making your spouse your absolute priority (yes, even above your children), building unshakable trustworthiness, and developing effective communication skills. They offer practical strategies for each principle, from establishing boundaries that protect your marriage to creating safe spaces for vulnerable conversations.Their discussion on trustworthiness is particularly revealing as Tabatha shares what has built her confidence in Ken over the decades—his authentic relationship with God behind closed doors and his consistent character across all settings. Meanwhile, their playful back-and-forth about returning text messages demonstrates how even the strongest marriages navigate everyday frustrations.Whether you're struggling to save a troubled relationship or simply want to strengthen an already good marriage, this episode delivers hope and practical tools you can implement immediately. As Ken powerfully reminds us, "It doesn't matter how bad your marriage might seem right now. There's a better day ahead."GET THE BETTER MARRIAGE BOOTCAMP HERE:Better Marriage Bootcamp (kenandtabatha.com)Better Marriage 90-Day Devotional:90 Day Better Marriage Devotional - Ken and Tabatha (square.site)DOWNLOAD THE FAMILY MEETING OUTLINE HERE ⬇️https://www.kenandtabatha.com/pl/2148103888📍 Join us in Florida at Alive Church — with campuses in Orlando, Tampa & Gainesville.🎟 And don’t miss Alive Conference coming soon — 3 days that can change the next 30 years of your life!https://redeemedevents.com/event-details/1875Support Our Ministry: https://myalivechurch.org/giveConnect with us:- Website:https://www.kenclaytor.comhttps://www.tabathaclaytor.comhttps://www.myalivechurch.org- Socials:Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/kenclaytor/https://www.instagram.com/tabathaclaytor/https://www.instagram.com/myalivechurch/TikTok-@Ken_Claytor@Tabathaclaytor@myalivechurchFacebook-https://www.facebook.com/PastorKenClaytorhttps://www.facebook.com/pastortabathaclaytorhttps://www.facebook.com/myalivechurch- Ask us questions: i...
