How to Survive a Contracting Company (as a Spouse)

Contractor Cuts

Clark and Esther dive into the challenges of running a contracting business while trying to keep faith, family, and work in balance—and why protecting your marriage is just as important as growing your company.

• How ignoring your spouse’s perspective can slowly erode connection
• The hidden dangers of letting business stress spill over into your home life
• Why transparency about financial struggles builds more trust than hiding them
• The importance of scheduling recovery time instead of always pushing harder
• Practical ways to invite your spouse into decision-making without overwhelming them
• How regular check-ins about priorities prevent resentment from building
• Why spiritual grounding helps you weather business storms as a family
• Recognizing when it’s time to seek outside counseling before patterns worsen
