OUR HISTORY

Picture1.jpg

We've been together since way back when. Well, actually 1976 to be exact. We married in 1978 while Alan was serving in the US Army. In 1980 we moved to Germany and had our daughter, Hillary, in Stuttgart in 1981. Joey came along in 1985 and Jamie in 1987 and this completed our family. Janice was a stay at home mom and Alan has worked at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard since 1987. From 1991 to 2004 Janice was a secretary at Family Worship Center. In 1996 Alan & Janice founded Forever Together. Forever Together is built upon the foundation that God intended for husbands and wives. God's desire is to hold up each marriage as a trophy as a testimony of what He can do in our lives. We would like to be a part of making your marriage a trophy that you value and are proud to be a part of. Thus, you also can be used as a tool to help others become a trophy marriage.

This year we are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. Time has flown for us. It is hard to remember all the good times and we are thankful it is hard to remember the bad times. We have learned to be less selfish and live in caring and understanding. It makes each of us happy to be able to bring joy to other. We have fun, laugh, and love together. We continue to learn because this keeps us growing closer and having more fun and joy in our relationship. Learning, growing, and changing are the life of marriage. We are excited to continue in the journey. We talked about it and both decided another 30 years would be great.

We celebrated our anniversary in Hawaii. It was our first visit and we had a great time. We would like to encourage you to set aside special times to celebrate your marriage, life, and future. Take time on purpose to build each other up, have fun, and relax. Keeping your marriage a priority helps make it a better marriage. A better marriage makes happier people. Happier people make a happier marriage.

Alan Kelly was born and raised in Bremerton, Washington, in a Christian family. He was born on a Thursday and in church on Sunday. When a child has the opportunity to be raised in church, they have a solid foundation. The stories of Noah, Jonah, Daniel, Moses, Jesus, and the rest of the Bible greats told in Sunday School make a lasting impression. This foundation has enabled Alan to have a treasure trove of information inside of him to share with you. Alan was able to attend Bible College for a short time prior to joining the army. While in the army he married his wife of 30 years, Janice. Together they raised three children who were able to grow up in church and now serve the church in music ministry and leadership. Alan and Janice founded Forever Together Marriage Ministries in 1996. In 2001 this ministry became incorporated as a non-profit. Together they teach and train couples for successful relationship through retreats, classes, and seminars. Alan also works for Puget Sound Naval Shipyard as a Planner/Estimator. Alan wrote this book with you in mind. He believes that by reading this book lives will be changed, questions answered, hope built, and you will be able to walk in Real Life Christianity.

  

Janice is Vice President of Forever Marriage Ministries. Along with her husband, Alan, she created and established Forever Together in 1996. She enjoys teaching women on living life to the fullest and teaching couples how to be better husbands/wives and parents. In 2001 Forever Together became incorporated as a non-profit. Together Alan & Janice teach men and women to become more successful husbands/wives and parents through a wide range of retreats, conferences, classes, and workshops.

 

Janice is the result of friends inviting friends to church with moms and dads being the transportation. Janice started attending church faithfully at the age of 13. Her friend’s parents dutifully went out of their way to pick her up for every service. She started teaching young girls at the age of 15 and has never stopped being a teacher/mentor or work in some form of ministry. Janice worked in women’s ministries for 16 years holding ladies retreats and events. Alan and Janice have been married for 31 years and have three children.

Building your marriage to last forever!
