If you're looking for fresh new ideas to rekindle the romance in your marriage other than the usual tired old ideas, read on!

Unique date night ideas

When kids come along, having a moment to yourself, let alone an entire night, seem to be as rare as finding a unicorn under your HDB block. As difficult as it might appear to be, it is important to set aside date nights for your husband and you to grow as individuals and partners.

The trick to these precious date nights is really to make the best out of these rare evenings and do things that you both would not normally do together

We have listed out 10 great places in Singapore that are guaranteed to make your date night with your husband a unique and super fun one!

The Comedy Club (Asia)

It has often been said that laughter is the best medicine, and we think there's no better remedy to a week of diapers and toddler tantrums than a good belly-aching laugh with your soulmate.

With their risque and humourous take on current issues, this is definitely an adult event you and your partner will enjoy.

Cosmic bowling

Would you like to get your blood pumping without tiring yourself out too much? (After all, running after the energetic youngster is exercise enough for any mum!)

Try bowling with glow-in-the-dark balls to the sound of funky beats at SAFRA Yishun, SAFRA Tampines and the Chevrons!

Have a friendly match with the husband and see who can score the most points. Or if you are not a bowling fan, just groove to the music with the neon lights and combine your dance moves with the bowling underswing. Even if your ball lands in the gutter, who cares? It's all in the name of good fun!

Watch an outdoor movie

Drive through movies might be a thing of the past, but you can still have a vastly different movie experience at outdoor movies. Outdoor movies give the usual movie date a different feel.

If you are too harried being a parent to enjoy the great outdoors, take this as a relaxing opportunity to take in lungfuls of fresh air and bask in our green scenery.

Sometimes the organisers will even throw in snacks like wine and chips to complete the romance of the evening!

What could be more romantic than gazing up at the heavens together?

Shrink any parental issues you might be having by admiring the inifinity of the night sky and its bright lights. The still night air and the serenity of the moment will also create an ideal place for your partner and you to be at your most tender and affectionate.

Be a deejay for the night at Suprette

Suprette hosts great drinks and great food in a hipster and cozy envionment. How great (or not so great) the music is every Friday depends on who is playing his playlist for the week, when patrons are allowed to play their own selection of songs.

Wind down with hubby and sway together to your favourite tunes.

Visit each other's alma mater

Now that you have kids yourself, the only reason you might want to go to a local school would be to check it out for your own children. But we think this would be a great date idea!

If you guys were childhood sweethearts, this is a great way to bring back the fresh headiness of first adolescent love. If you only met each other much later on in life, use this date to get to know each other better - let him tell you about his favourite spot in school, his favourite stall and where he got punished by the teachers.

This unique date idea will be fun and great for your relationship too!
