About Couple Bucket List
Most couple bucket lists are somebody else's list of skydiving and Machu Picchu. These 15 prompts make you build your own — one thing per category, agreed by both of you, with at least three that could happen this year.
Sample questions to get you started
- 1A place within a day's travel that neither of you has been.
- 2A country you both want to see.
- 3Something physical you would both have to train for.
- 4A skill to learn together, badly.
- 5A meal to cook that takes a whole afternoon.
- 6An event you would both queue for.
- 7Something one of you loves that the other has never tried.
- 8A trip that involves no planning whatsoever.
- 9Something you would be nervous to do.

How to play Couple Bucket List
- Work through the prompts and agree one entry for each.
- Write them down somewhere you will both find them.
- Mark three that could realistically happen this year.
- Book one of those three before you close the list.
Why couples love this game
A list you wrote yourselves gets done; a list you copied does not. The categories are there to stop you writing fifteen variations of the same holiday, which is what happens when couples do this from a blank page.
Tips to make it more fun
- One entry per prompt. Do not stack four ideas into one.
- Both have to genuinely want it, or it does not go on.
- Book something before you finish, or none of it happens.
- Revisit it every six months and cross things off.
Frequently asked questions
What should be on a couple's bucket list?
Things you both actually want, written by you rather than copied. Prompts by category stop you writing fifteen versions of the same holiday, which is what happens from a blank page.
How do you actually do the things on it?
Mark three that could happen this year and book one before you close the list. Bucket lists that end without a booking stay lists.
