Hello,
I'm not married yet, however, I was discussing the idea of planning a weekend get away for married people.

It will be a weekend event in a resort or beach for couples to spend time together, relax and have fun. A relationship coach may also be there to give a brief talk.

Now do you think this is a good idea?

Also will it help couples to bond?

And if you are married. Would you love to attend such?

I'm not married either but if smellinganus is going then maybe I'm going too as long there's booze & fries my kinda thing to chill out

Nice idea, but, what would you stand to gain by helping couples bond?

good thoughts/ideas by the 0P especially now that the divorce rate is high... But the Op needs a very good strategy to achieve this

Satisfaction. And the pleasure of doing something positive

Thank you. What strategy do you suggest?

Thank you. What strategy do you suggest?

a good plan per say... You already know your target participants, I believe you should have an idea of the particular resort and location you need to take these couples to ( it could be a resort at Calabar or whereever you have chosen. Timing too maybe important but not too important, you could decide to make it during thread festive seasons or during major holidays, you need to know where to get your identified target participants and the medium of communication you intend to use to get to them, if it's tru flyers, mass media (radio, television etc) obviously is something that should be well planned out from the beginning to the end especially in terms of the amount of finances that will be involved. You also need a team to help share more viable ideas with and for a near perfect implementation... To summarize, just have a good well written out plan..

I already like the idea!! Weekend getaway!!!

Really? Thanks

That's great. As soon as spouses acknowledge and pledge moderate to full support for the idea*, and a highlight of what they'd love to see, then move ahead to a business pedestal.

Things to consider:

- Your target market (wealthy, middle-class, poor, religious folks, registered families in a particular hospital/clinic, etc). In Nigeria, it is very difficult to put the poor and the wealthy together in a room. The wealthy may not attend if it's free; the poor won't if they find it expensive.

- Is it a for-profit venture? How much are you willing to put in the project that would be good enough to attract the middle-class?

- We can go on and on, but overall, it is a great idea.


Meanwhile @Project400, we can deliver you a thorough and well researched business proposal. We've done something similar for a client some months ago [on Cafe (Restaurant) specifically for tourists].

Errrmm, both of us?

Let me be realistic...the possibility of finding couples (from this site) that will sign up is very low. The reason is the security level in naija. With all the cases of kidnappers and ritualist...people are extra careful in trusting strangers.

The best way to start is through friends and family. Or announce through the marriage department in your church/mosque. So testimonies from them will serve as reviews. So you can then grow and expand through word of mouth.

Last point: your moniker @ Freaknasty does not inspire confidence. Makes me feel that the retreat might be a type of òrgy. Packaging/branding is key.

You are single, and planning a weekend get together for the married. Who will you spend the weekend with when the married retire to their rooms? OP! OP!! OP!!!
