Date Night

October 4th at 6:00 p.m. in the Oak Street Center Room 101/102

Join the Marriage Enrichment Ministry for Date Night on October 4th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Oak Street Center. We explore Fair Play: "Bringing Awareness to the Invisible Workload in a Home" with our special guest speaker, Melissa Rector LaGraff.

Melissa Rector LaGraff is an applied social science researcher and a Certified Fair Play Method Facilitator. She received her PhD in Child and Family Studies from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Prior to her doctoral studies, she was a County Director and Family & Consumer Sciences Agent with University of Tennessee Extension. In addition to conducting program evaluation research, her research examines how parental work experiences influences parenting decisions and behaviors as well as how to improve family functioning through family policies and parenting education.

This workshop will introduce you to The Fair Play Method, a time- and anxiety-saving system that offers a completely new way to think about and divvy up domestic responsibilities. With 4 easy-to-follow rules, 100 household cards, and a series of conversation starters for you and your family, Fair Play helps you prioritize what's important to your family and who should take the lead on every chore, from laundry to homework to dinner.

The evening will include dinner from Acropolis Grill. The cost is $30 per couple, and free childcare is available with a reservation.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn practical ways to improve family dynamics while enjoying a special evening with your partner.
