Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts
with David & Tabitha King
David & Tabitha King, Faciliators
David and Tabitha met in 2007 and married on December 6, 2014, after dating off and on for seven years, during which they experienced personal growth and healing from past hurts. Upon marrying, they became a blended family with eight children—Derrick, Adam, C’Ayra, Angelo, Marcedia, Arriana, Malachi, and Zoey. Five of the children are grown and live on their own, while Arriana, Malachi, and Zoey reside with them.
Despite facing many challenges, David and Tabitha have joined forces not only in life but also in helping other couples who struggle with communication or face difficulties that threaten families. Their hope is to guide families toward healthy dialogue and harmonious living, committed to each other “till death do you part.”
They invite anyone who is engaged or married to reach out for a marriage assessment. As a relationship coach, Tabitha also welcomes individuals and couples who are considering marriage, planning their wedding, or already married. Whether building a strong foundation or reigniting passion, she offers a supportive space to discuss what matters most.
Marriage & Family Counseling with Licensed Facilitators
Here’s the deal: 87% of young adults plan to get married someday, and 82% expect it to last for life. That’s right—almost all young adults between 18 and 30 not only dream of marriage, they see it as part of their future. Even more surprising, despite witnessing high divorce rates firsthand, most still believe their marriage will be lifelong. This optimism might explain why so many are eager for pre-marriage education. More couples than ever are seeking it, and for good reason—it’s linked to greater marital satisfaction, fewer destructive conflicts, and stronger commitment.
Here are a few more facts: 76% of married couples wish they had pre-marriage education, and 86% of Americans over 18 believe all couples considering marriage should receive it. Couples without this preparation are more likely to see their problems as unusual and unsolvable, and 41% of divorced couples say the lack of it contributed to their split. So, does pre-marriage counseling work? Absolutely. Research shows that couples who gain valuable knowledge before falling into destructive patterns are 31% less likely to divorce. Plus, those who participate in pre-marriage programs enjoy a 30% boost in marital success and fulfillment compared to those who don’t.
SYMBIS—Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts—is an assessment that helps couples have meaningful conversations about their relationship. It’s a great way to explore communication, expectations, conflict, family backgrounds, and the strengths you bring to your life together.
If you’re thinking about getting married, use it to get to know each other more deeply before making the leap. If you’re engaged, it can spark important talks that might get overlooked while planning a wedding. Already married? It’s a chance to reconnect, see what needs attention, and rebuild closeness and passion.
David and Tabitha offer relationship coaching, the SYMBIS assessment, and workshops to help turn what you learn into everyday conversations and intentional ways to connect.
