Introduction

Welcome to Couples Pursuit, where we, Vincent and Valerie Woodard, share insights and stories to help couples navigate the complexities of relationships.

In today’s blog post, we discuss our recent interview with Will and Kelly McGlenn, a couple who experienced their share of challenges yet maintained their commitment to each other. Let’s dive into the key takeaways from their inspiring story.

God’s Purpose for Your Marriage

The first lesson from the McGlenns is that God has a purpose for your marriage beyond what we may initially see. According to Will and Kelly, couples are called to contribute to their family’s spiritual growth and development and the larger community.

Embracing this purpose can bring a profound sense of meaning and direction to your relationship.

Facing Adversity Together: For Better or Worse

Will and Kelly’s journey wasn’t without its obstacles. They almost divorced, experienced homelessness, and separated several times while raising three small children. Despite these hardships, they persevered and eventually grew stronger together.

Their experiences remind us of the importance of the commitment to stand by one another, for better or worse. No matter the challenges life throws at us, staying united can help couples weather any storm.

Avoiding Strife and Discord

The third lesson from the McGlenns is to be mindful of strife and discord within the church community. Will and Kelly caution that allowing such negativity to seep into your relationship can breed bitterness and jeopardize your marriage.

Instead, they urge couples to foster a loving and supportive atmosphere within their household and the broader community. A crucial part of this is for the husband to take responsibility for protecting and nurturing his wife’s spiritual growth as they journey together toward God’s purpose.
