What is 'Couples Night Out'?
Couples Night Out has the simple but effective vision to engage couples in communities across Canada in an evening of fun and faith. The humour, ministry and personal reflections of our speakers will inspire couples to live, love and bless each other as God originally designed. The theme will be celebrating our differences and will feature an interactive game show that will highlight our uniqueness in God’s image.
Couples Night Out is an extension of the ministry of the Girls Night Out partnership. United by a passion to invest in the lives of women, we have produced over 160 Girls Night Out events across the country since 2005. Since 70% of the women who attend a typical Girls Night Out event are married, providing these women and their husbands with a fun and inspirational date night seemed like a natural progression for our ministry and the idea for Couples Night Out was born.
