Date Night: To emphasize the importance of the Husband and Wife relationship give each man the assignment over the next few weeks to plan a “Special Date” for his wife. A “Special Date” would be anything that the couple enjoys together and makes the wife feel honored and loved. It could be anything from a romantic night out to a weekend away. The wife will be responsible to share with the class the details that made her date so special. As class leaders, share your own experience with this assignment, which means a special date night for you. Possibly you might have the class vote on the best date and give the winner a gift certificate to a favorite restaurant or local bed and breakfast. Be creative and enjoy the interaction.
Babysitter Guide: This is a great tool to provide caregivers (especially if you will be meeting at a church or other location where group childcare will be provided). The suggested activities have been specifically designed to reinforce the principles being taught in the Growing Kids God’s Way class each week. It provides yet another way for life application of the things being worked on in the home. You can find this resource at www.getthecost.com.
