“We’re both caught up in our work and would spend the weekends only to recharge and laze at home. I wanted to… reignite our relationship and to create new experiences.”
When was the last time you and your spouse had a really great date?
One that didn’t just revolve around discussing the kids, or rushed through so you could fulfil errands afterwards?
Do you reminisce when love was first sparked, enjoying long, chill dates with time for deep connection and good conversations?
We’ve prepared Best Date Ever, a special event for couples married 10 years and under, so all you need to do is dress up, turn up and enjoy yourselves together.
Let us host you with a thoughtful programme, while reviving romance and relishing each other’s attention and company. Come and create wonderful memories to strengthen your family’s foundation.
Relax, re-connect and renew the intimacy in your marriage at the Best Date Ever.
Gary and Joanna present a dynamic approach in talking about love and life. Gary’s sense of humour vs. Joanna’s straight-talking approach are so different, yet both have the same passion of helping families and relationships thrive. Gary is a family counsellor and Joanna has served as CEO of local charity, Focus on the Family Singapore, for 21 years.

Connect2 is an initiative by Focus on the Family Singapore to help married couples nurture and grow their relationship.
It only took minutes but being intentional about it made it so heartfelt and meaningful. Goes to show how important it is to be intentional in our relationship, so that we can sow it to make it so, so much more. I want to really devote time to go on dates from now on.
It is so easy to let the busyness of work, kids and life in general consume us. I want to make use of the kit to help us focus more on us.
The conversation cards really allowed us to explore questions we never really get to talk about and to share. We plan to bring the cards along on our future dates so we will have more to talk about!
Through the thoughtful programme, participants will be guided to revive romance and relish each other's company through:
• Couple Activities
• Connections: Conversations
• Commitment: Letter-writing
The Best Date Ever Kit includes materials needed during the programme and for future dates.
Although our event is targeted at couples who have been married for 10 years or less, we welcome all married couples regardless of the duration of marriage to join us for this event.
We won’t be serving alcohol at the dinner. Soft drinks, coffee and tea will be available throughout the dinner.
The 4-course Western menu does not contain pork or lard. If you require a Halal-certified meal, or if you have any food allergies or special dietary needs, please let us know in the registration form.
