After a short video that sets the stage for discussion, couples are sent out for their own private date. You choose the location for your date. It can be a nice long walk, dinner at one of your favorite restaurants or a couple of hours at a special place you and your spouse enjoy. The program will be held one Friday night per month from 5:30 to 6:15 pm beginning February 11 and running through November. Whether newlywed or newly retired, quiver full or empty nest, parents of toddler or parents of teen, all marriages benefit from the investment in great dates.
