Meet Your Date Night Hosts, Dr. Dave and Dr. Liz
Known as “Dr. Dave” on campus and across the country, Dave Schramm is an associate professor and family life extension specialist at Utah State University in the department of Human Development and Family Studies.
Shortly after arriving at USU in 2016, he was appointed by Governor Herbert to serve on Utah’s Commission on Marriage and he now serves as a faculty director of the Commission. In 2022 the Utah Marriage Commission launched the Stronger Marriage Connection podcast and Dr. Dave serves as a host. Dr. Dave enjoys helping individuals, parents, and couples thrive in their life journeys.
Dr. Liz Hale has been helping marriages in her private practice survive and thrive for over 30 years.
As a former chair of the Utah Marriage Commission and spokesperson for UtahMarriage.org, Liz believes that grounds for marriage tremendously outweigh grounds for divorce and that learning and applying the tools from scientifically proven marital research is the key. As a Certified Marital Therapist and a Certified Discernment Counselor, Liz has a reputation for saving marriages on the brink of divorce. She believes no experience is ever wasted when it adds to our depth and character.
