First Dates



Erik and Leah, our leaders

 Last Saturday we enjoyed our first of the Six Dates in the Six Dates program.  We met in the school cafeteria at 6pm and were able to meet some other couples also attending the program.  We began with brief introductions and prayer lead by Erik and Leah. 

The video was entertaining with short clips of different couples weighing in with their brief stories of how they met, what they thought of each other at the beginning, what promises they made to each other in marriage, and what some joyful and difficult times they have had so far.  Some of their comments were pretty funny, I thought, especially in the case of the couple recounting about how their eyes met over the filing cabinets at work and they just knew they were destined to date.
The meeting and video encouraged us couples after leaving for our individual dates to share the same topics with one another over dinner.  The handout was nice in that it kept us focused but wasn't overbearing.  Our discussion wandered a bit based on the question and then we could come back to the next topic and start all over.  All in all, it was a wonderful night to reconnect, remember and enjoy the journey we've taken as spouses so far.  We even treated ourselves to dessert for our special evening together... :)



Gift package received upon arrival

We are already looking forward to the next Date Night which will be November 12th.  Save the date now and remember to tell other couples to come and join us, it doesn't matter if they were there for the first date night or not. 

Bottom line is that it's simple, it's fun and totally worthwhile!

 See you November 12th!
