MC Date Night

These past few weeks we have learned some very important things for us to keep moving forward with MC Date Night.

The first and main thing that was learned is how important it is to communicate effectively between departments. The ticket office has been selling tickets only to people on actual dates and turning away others if they were not on dates.  This was never the intention of the $6 date price.  It was the intention to encourage dating, but not to turn people away.

The second thing that was learned this week is the importance of having everyone feel like they can attend the event.  While we want to keep the name MC Date Night, we are going to need to do a better job at marketing what MC Date Night includes, and it not just for people on dates, but an event where students can come and connect with each other as well as an inexpensive place to have a date night.

The past date night on March 13th we added a singles “lounge”.  Table were set up and decorated, fun music was playing, and we had a drink and snack station.  We are going to continue the single’s lounge and develop that activity more.  We have thought about adding the dating game, and maybe speed dating to the area.

We have MC Late Night every Friday night in the Manwaring Center.  We need to make sure that the things that are offered on MC Late Night are different then what we offer on MC Date Night.  MC Date Night we try and focus on a different theme each time the event is held. While we can include elements of MC Late Night at Date Night, the activities that are offered need to be different enough, so the events do not get stale and feel like we are on repeat at each event.

My student coordinator Haylee has done an awesome job with MC Date Night.  She is always willing to look at what is going good with Date Night and where we can improve.  With the semester coming to an end in a few weeks Haylee and I are focusing on what we will be offered Spring Semester.

Was the Best Choice Made?   This week’s topic so interesting. A couple of things stood out in my mind.  The first was a study done by Waite and Gallagher (2000) stated that many marriages ended that could have turned out to be satisfying within five years if they would have continued to work through their problems. Have we made divorce too easy and too common? Another interesting stat is that the tolerance of divorce has increased since the 1950s. Is that because more and more of us are affected by divorce and we can see and understand the need for it? In our world today The Family A proclamation to the world written in 1995 and given at a worldwide general relief society meeting for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has more meaning then every before and will continue to be a standard which the world can look for guidance on keeping a strong marriage and family. “ We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures d...

  Focus on the marriage, not the wedding.   As someone who has been married for almost 33 years, I think I can rightfully say I have a pretty good idea what is important in a marriage, and it is not the wedding. I think that we were lucky not to have a ton of money to spend on the wedding.   My parents were pretty broke when Matt and I got married, as were Matt and I. Society has romanticized what a wedding should be like- -the beautiful expensive dress that brings everyone to tears when they see the bride in it for the first time. The hand-written personalized place cards for the exclusively catered meal for 300 of your very closest friends.   The wedding industry is a $53.4 BILLION industry, and that estimate was from 2013, eight years ago.   Just imagine what it is now, excluding the COVID year.   Something interesting that I read the other day, is that couples are actually putting off getting married during the pandemic because they can’t have the...
