Tabatha Claytor Age and Husband

Although Tabatha has made for herself a marriage many admire, it was not so in her childhood. She was born on 14th January 1976. She is the firstborn child in a family of 4 children. Her father died when Tabatha was young and her mother and grandmother had to take care of the family.

The absence of her father opened up the family to insecurities that caused Tabatha to go through emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. She grew up feeling rejected and undervalued. This caused her to seek validation from other people. Right before joining college, Tabatha got into a relationship that led to an unplanned pregnancy.

Lack of support and people to give her correct advice led her to commit abortion, an act she felt guilty and ashamed off until she gave her life to Jesus afterward.

Tabatha Claytor Marriage

While in college she met Ken, and the two became close friends and started dating. After 9 months of dating, she broke up with him because she wanted to figure out her real identity. Her desire to find out who she was led her to make a decision to follow Jesus at 22 years. She later re-connected with Ken and their love was re-ignited. On 3rd July 1999, the two got married. In 2023, they celebrated  24 years of marriage.

The marriage between Tabatha and her husband is seen as a beacon of hope to many struggling marriages. Many are unaware of the challenges they had to go through to make their family stable. Three years into their marriage, divorce was looming as neither of them could understand a way of living with each other. After much reading, listening, and prayer, they were able to stabilize their marriage.

The union of their marriage later faced other challenges like parenting and still maintaining your spouse as a priority, having a fulfilling sex life, and balancing roles as pastors. In 2021, breast cancer also tested their unity. Tabatha went through chemotherapy, a stage 3 diagnosis,  and a double mastectomy.

Pastor Ken endured through the trouble time but eventually, they defeated it after doctors announced Tabatha was cancer free. Tabatha confessed through her Instagram that her sheer belief in God despite the trying time led her and her marriage through the test.

Tabatha and Claytor have managed to become influential because they have created a display of two individuals who refused to let each other go despite the challenges their marriage endured.
