Why We Do This
You hold this community together.
You spend your days protecting and serving our community — often at the expense of your own time, stress levels, and family life. We believe the couples who hold our communities together deserve a strong, thriving marriage at home.
This evening is 100% free with no cost, no pressure, and no high-pressure pitch. It is simply our way of saying thank you, giving you a well-deserved night off, and introducing you to our local programs designed to support your relationship for the long haul.
About the date nite
A night out on us.
Break the routine. Work, chores, parenting — the daily grind wears on a marriage, and a night out is one of the simplest ways to push back. Come for good food, a few laughs, and a couple of hours that belong to just the two of you. Dinner’s covered. Childcare’s covered. All you have to do is show up with your spouse.
- Need childcare? We got that.
- Need a ride? We got that.
- Need a coach? We got that.
What’s Included
- Free catered dinner for two
- Clean entertainment & laughter
- Complimentary childcare for couples who RSVP
Childcare is available for every date nite, allocated first-come, first-served.

A Pathway to More
There’s a free marriage retreat, too.
As first responders and military families, you deserve continuous support. During the date night event, we will share a quick overview of how your family can qualify for our Branson Marriage Retreat — a free weekend getaway built to help the two of you recharge and reconnect. The whole weekend is on us.
There is zero obligation — just an open invitation to take advantage of a getaway built exclusively for you.
