Welcome to the experience

We are glad you are making space for each other. After 31 years together and 26 years of marriage, we are still discovering that connection grows through the moments we choose to create.

This complimentary pilot invites you to try two intentional date adventures and tell us honestly what worked for you. A meaningful date does not need a flight, an expensive dinner, or a perfect relationship.

Before your first date

• Agree on a comfortable budget in your own currency, including a zero-cost option.
• Choose two possible date windows and decide who will handle practical arrangements.
• Discuss access, mobility, food, childcare, and timing needs. Choose activities that work for both of you.
• Give each other permission to pass on a question or change an activity. Keep the experience kind and pressure-free.

DATE ADVENTURE 1 · FIRST HALF OF YOUR PILOT

Rediscover Us

Allow 60–90 minutes. The aim is to enjoy something familiar while seeing each other with fresh eyes.

1. Create your setting

Choose one: an at-home picnic with food you already have; a visit to a place that holds a happy memory; or a short, accessible walk followed by a drink or snack. Each partner chooses one song connected to a good memory together.

For an at-home date, change one small thing: set a different table, spread a blanket, dress intentionally, or create a little corner that feels separate from everyday tasks.

2. Take a memory walk

Spend about 20 minutes sharing the stories behind your songs or your chosen place. Each person completes: “One moment with you that still makes me smile is…” Listen to the whole story before adding your own.

3. Meet who your partner is today

Take turns with these questions. Give each person a few uninterrupted minutes; curiosity matters more than having the perfect answer.

• What has been giving you joy lately that I may not have noticed?
• What is something you are learning about yourself in this season?
• What small gesture from me helps you feel seen?
• What is one thing you would love us to make more room for?

4. Choose one small intention

Each person names one specific thing they appreciate about the other. Then agree on one simple action for the next seven days: a ten-minute check-in, a warm greeting, a short walk, or a phone-free cup of tea.

Finish with: “One thing I rediscovered about you today is…”

Your honest feedback matters

Use the same feedback form after each date and select Date 1 or Date 2. Aim to respond while the experience is fresh, ideally within 48 hours. A short, honest response is enough.

You may respond together, or each partner may submit their own perspective. Use the email address on your application so we can match the response to your couple. Put the respondent's name first in the names field.

For the connection question, use 1 for distant and 5 for very connected. For example: “Before: 2. After: 4.” This is a personal reflection, not a score for your partner or a test you must pass.

Your responses go to Nigel & Michelle and are not posted publicly. Please avoid sensitive personal details. Feedback does not grant permission to publish your words, photos, or story.

If the form does not submit, email your date number, first names, before-and-after connection ratings, meaningful moment, and suggestions to hello@nigelmichelle.com. Please leave out sensitive personal details.

As your 60 days come to a close

Look back together: What felt different? What did we enjoy? What should we keep doing? Choose one shared habit and put your next date in the calendar. Include any final pilot suggestions in your Date 2 feedback.
