Building a thriving marriage in these modern times takes hard work. When you add the responsibilities and demands of a growing career, family life, and the other stressors & unexpected challenges that sometimes show up, it can seem almost impossible…but it doesn’t have to be!

Hi, we are David and Ebun, son and daughter of the King, a married couple who are still best friends, and parents of three. After being married for over a decade —while also navigating 3 major family relocations, job losses, financial challenges & major health challenges along the way— we know first-hand some of the challenges couples face in our modern world.

We know what it’s like to feel disconnected as a couple while juggling the demands of work, life, and parenthood because we’ve been there. We also know what it feels like to become more intentional in our marriage and achieve a deeper level of connection & intimacy in a long-term marital relationship.

Yet, through it all, we’ve not only grown stronger as a couple but also as individuals. How did we get here? Get ready to find out because we can’t wait to share what we’ve learned, unlearned, relearned, and continue to learn on this journey.

    EP 222 \\ STOP Waiting for Your Spouse to Get on Board Before Working on Your Marriage! Here’s Why
    Aug 20 2026

    Hi friend,

    We often hear that it takes two committed individuals to make a marriage work but what if we told you that it takes one courageous spouse willing to make the move towards progress to begin this process.

    Being a courageous spouse means choosing to partner with God and making courageous moves needed for a more loving & connected marriage…even if your spouse is not currently on board!

    We’ve both had to play that role at different points in our journey, and we’ve seen firsthand how powerful one person’s faith and action can be in shifting the tone and direction of the relationship.

    So if you desire a deeper connection in your marriage, but feel stuck because your spouse isn’t showing up right now, this episode is for you.

    In this conversation, you’ll discover:

    • 3 reasons why waiting for your spouse to get on board before working on your marriage could be holding you back

    • How to begin moving forward and creating change — even on your own

    • Simple steps to start building the stronger marriage you truly long for

    We pray this blesses you!

    How To Stop Repeating The Same Exhausting Argument Without Waiting For Your Spouse To Change First

    You love your spouse. So why does it sometimes feel like you're having the same argument over and over again, even when the topic keeps changing?

    Money. Parenting. Household issues. Different topics—but somehow, the same frustration.

    In this episode, I share part of my own marriage story and talk about how I began to notice that the subject of an argument could change while the experience felt strangely familiar.

    For years, I thought the answer was simply better communication. But I began to realize there was something I wasn't paying attention to during those difficult conversations.

    I want to leave you with one question to consider the next time you and your spouse find yourselves in the same place again:

    Why do two people who love each other keep having the same argument?

    If that question sounds familiar, I'm hosting a FREE Live Online Workshop this Saturday.

    I'll go deeper into what happens when these conversations go wrong, why the pattern can keep repeating, and what you can begin doing differently.

    I'd love to have you join me.

    — David

    Hi friend,

    Have you ever wished you could stop an argument before it spirals into the same exhausting cycle?

    In this special guest interview on the Rebuilding Us podcast, David joins host Dana Che to explore how emotional awareness can transform the way couples navigate conflict.

    Together, they discuss why the early years of marriage can be especially challenging, how our upbringing shapes the way we communicate, and why learning to regulate our emotions is essential for healthier communication.

    David also introduces the CALM Method, a practical four-step framework designed to help couples interrupt unhealthy conflict patterns before they escalate and move toward greater understanding and deeper connection in marriage.

    Whether you're newly married or have been together for years, this conversation will encourage you with practical tools you can begin applying today.
