Date Planning Services
At Two Happy LLC, we believe that one of the key paths to thriving is having strong, nurturing relationships.
Science has pointed again and again to building strong relationships as the foundation to a life well-lived. We believe in giving your chosen life partner your best, rather than your emotional leftovers. Societal demands push many couples to take one another for granted, and we want to bring an end to that. We leverage the latest positive psychology research on how to flourish to help plan and execute logistics for your dedicated date time together each month.
We’ve seen high powered career couples spend over $300 per week for housekeeping services, $350+ per week for career coaching, and over $250 per week for couples counseling. These are wonderful services, but don’t directly invest in building the strength of your relationship with one another.
We understand how busy lives leave couples with little bandwidth to plan beautiful, curated dates. We understand how difficult it is to even make the time to go on the date, and to immerse yourself and enjoy it completely. Let us smooth the path ahead for you by taking on all the logistics and planning.
All packages are for date planning services only and do not cover the expenses of the date (i.e., you pay for event tickets, food, drinks, and any other additional expenses). Dates will be planned based on the budget you set during the introductory interview unless otherwise agreed upon by all parties. Dates typically last 3-6 hours including any travel time.
All subscription packages can be billed monthly, semi-annually, or annually. We recommend a minimum of a six-month package so couples can truly appreciate the changes in their relationship as they make high quality time together a regular part of their routine.

Currently Available Workshop Topics:
Active Constructive Responding
Couples will learn about recognizing bids for attention, and the best way to respond to build upward spirals in the relationship. Couples will practice recognizing and using all four basic response methods, with emphasis on gaining skills for active constructive responding (Lambert et al, 2013).
Emotional and Invisible Support
Couples will learn about effective methods of emotional and social support, including invisible support (Girme et al, 2018) when their partner is going through stressful times, a crisis, or just needs some extra love.
Resilience Training
Resilience is the process of bouncing back (or better) after significant adversity or risk (Masten, Cutuli, Herbers, & Reed, 2009). It can also be used to aid in responding to everyday stressors. In this workshop, couples identify primary stressors in their lives, and learn about the 8 protective factors. Couples then use this to build and strengthen their protective factors.
Overcoming Thinking Traps
Our minds think incredibly fast—to do so, it has developed shortcuts to help us. A lot of times, these shortcuts are helpful, such as when something is falling, we intuitively might jump away before processing what is happening. Sometimes, these shortcuts hurt us in the form of thinking traps (Reivich & Shatté, 2002). In this workshop, we cover 8 common thinking traps (blaming only yourself, tunnel vision, magnifying and minimizing, etc.) and how to overcome them.
Household Division of Labor and Habit-Forming
Couples split immense loads from various aspects of their life, ranging from economic labor, childcare, household duties, and even social duties. How households split their labor is directly correlated with satisfaction with the relationship and with overall well-being (Ciciolla & Luthar, 2019). This workshop helps create a framework to discuss ownership of various duties, and uses the latest in habit creation and maintenance (Oettingen & Gollwitzer, 2017) to create a system that works for the couple.
Rituals for Two
Rituals range from the mundane (morning routine) to the meaningful (family dinner). Regardless of the type of ritual, the increased use of rituals predicts perceived increases in relationship quality and intimacy (Pearson, Child, & Carmon, 2010). This workshop helps couples recognize and increase meaning in rituals they already engage in, as well as help create new rituals for the couple to incorporate into their lives in a practical and doable way.
Character Strengths
Couples will individually take the VIA Character Strengths quiz to discover their character strengths. Strengths are interdependent, positive, and can lead to good outcomes such as happiness, achievement, better physical health, and stronger relationships (Niemiec, 2018). In fact, while the majority of people are unaware of their strengths, studies show that people who use their strengths are eighteen times more likely to be flourishing. We delve into strengths, recognizing and affirming one another’s strengths, and how to use strengths in new ways.
