Spending time with your spouse is important for your marriage and your children.

Families for Life Council Member, Ms Sim Siew Moon, shared “Setting aside time to nurture the relationship is helpful not only to the couple but to the children’s upbringing as well. It provides children with a good example for their own future relationships. Growing up in a family where the parents have a healthy relationship allows the child to flourish in a loving environment and has a positive impact on them.”

Time to whip out your diaries and find some time to schedule a date night, just you and your partner, without the kids. Try asking family or friends to watch over the kids while you take some time out to fall in love again.

Here are some adult-only activity ideas for couples looking to break away from their regular habits:
