Mo and Dan McCarty are a married couple navigating covenant in an earthly world, not from theory, but from lived experience.
Together, they carry high-responsibility, public-facing leadership roles. One serves in civil service and public safety. The other leads a nonprofit centered on women’s mental health, building community-based pathways to healing while pursuing a PhD. Their work comes with real weight, public accountability, and constant pressure, the kind that does not clock out when the day ends.
They are also parents of four and stewards of a household shaped by responsibility, sacrifice, joy, growth, and deepening faith.
Their story began in the summer of 2017 during the launch of a company that hosted live activations and community events with partner brands, an environment where they first crossed paths. They later reconnected through social media and quickly began dating. In less than a year, they were engaged, married, and expecting a baby, in that order. Real life moved fast, and there was not time to build everything the “slow way” before the demands of marriage and family came rushing in.
While their marriage began quickly, it was rooted in faith and trust in God. But under the weight of transition, responsibility, and everyday pressures, they lost sight of that foundation for a season. What followed was not surface-level struggle. It was the real work: conflict, pride, hard conversations, and painful seasons that tested what they believed about marriage, faith, and each other.
What they faced in their early years mirrors what many couples experience over decades, just concentrated. By the grace of God, they did not quit. They learned and unlearned. They told the truth. They asked hard questions. They rebuilt trust, and they rebuilt their faith from the ground up, not through performance or formulas, but by returning to God honestly in the middle of the mess, not after it was cleaned up.
Marriage with the McCartys exists because biblical marriage in an earthly world is hard. Covenant requires holy work. And finding God in the tension, suffering, joy, repair, and everyday realities of real marriage is a daily choice.
They do not speak from perfection. They speak from the ongoing, committed work of staying.
Meet The McCarty’s
Hey y’all, welcome. We’re Mo and Dan McCarty, and we created this space for couples who love God but still feel the tension of real life. We believe in accountability because love tells the truth. We believe in community because healing takes support. And we believe in Scripture because God’s Word is the standard, even when culture pulls in the opposite direction. We don’t speak from perfection. We speak from lived experience, growth, and the ongoing work of choosing covenant over comfort. We want to be real enough to relate, biblical enough to challenge, and honest enough to help you grow. Our ultimate goal is simple: to give God all the glory through the fruit we bear and use this platform to spread the gospel, one candid conversation at a time.
