NWA Marriage Adventures: WeWIN Activities

WeWIN Activities

We encourage you to do some type of activity where you and your spouse play on the same team or attend an event where others are functioning as a team or group. Remember to act like a good teammate throughout the date (i.e. caring, good listener, positive, respectful, encourager, enthusiastic, appreciative, etc.). May the best team win!

• The Naturals – Couples Date Night at the Ballpark
  We have partnered with the Naturals for couples date night on Thursday, June 24^th. For $21 per couple, you will receive 2 reserved tickets (Naturals vs. the Tulsa Drillers), 2 vouchers for a hot dog, chips & soda, and a Naturals Game Program. The game begins at 7pm, with gates opening at 6pm. [click here to register]
• Go play any sport that you are interested in but find a way to turn it into a team experience with your spouse. For example…
  • Golf Scramble – Each player tees off on each hole, and the players decide which shot was best. Every player then plays his/her second shot from where the best shot has come to rest, and the procedure is repeated until the hole is finished.
  • Putt-Putt Golf – In best ball, each player plays the hole as normal, but the lowest score of all the players on the team counts as the team's score.
