Couples Bucket List

Make a couples bucket list you can use this year. Start with 12 ideas for ordinary evenings, weekends, and one larger plan.

Start your list with twelve plans

Ordinary evenings

  • Make a meal from a country you both want to visit.
  • Take a walk with no phones and pick one street you have never taken.
  • Read a short story aloud together and decide how you would end it.
  • Host a dessert tasting with two favorites and one wildcard.

Half days and weekends

  • Learn a basic skill together at a one-off workshop.
  • Spend a morning at a market and make lunch from what you find.
  • Take a train or bus to a town you usually pass through and find one place worth coming back for.
  • Revisit the place you first spent a full day together.

Seasonal and longer plans

  • Watch the sunrise in one season and the sunset in the opposite season.
  • Pick a volunteering session you can both realistically commit to.
  • Choose a longer trip and plan one no-booking practice day nearby first.
  • Make a photo or written record of one shared moment each month and look at it together at the end of the year.

Turn your list into things you do

  1. Write three ideas each without comparing lists first. Add them to a shared note and star the ones you both want.
  2. Sort your favorites by an evening, a half day, or a longer plan. Mark any costs, tickets, or travel you need to arrange.
  3. Book or schedule one easy idea this month. Revisit the rest next season and swap any that no longer fit.
