When creating a couples bucket list tho, it is important to remember that you have to make realistic goals and list meaningful activities that will add value to your relationship. Fill your bucket list with things that will help you both grow and keep you two in line with your interests and passion. Create wonderful memories to bring you two closer together. The end goal here is to have a rewarding relationship and not get stuck with your partner in a routine of boring activities.

In the couples bucket list that follows, you will find ideas of things to do at home, travel goals, date ideas, and personal growth.

Couples bucket list 1: Home Adventure Activities

Do general cleaning together. Cleaning the whole house can be exhausting so doing it together makes the job easy. Plus you have fun together. 

Dance in the Kitchen. I love dancing. It’s my way of getting rid of stress from work. All my worries fade away with just dance in the kitchen.

Play card games or solve puzzles together. There are lots of card games and puzzles available online. You can buy it on Amazon too. My boyfriend is from Australia and I am from the Philippines and we enjoy sharing our own games.  

Read books about relationships. Books can teach us many things. Improving ourselves and our relationships, be a better partner, avoid chaos and fights, etc… After reading the same book, you two can exchange reviews and talk about deeper things. I love having deep conversations with my boyfriend. My favorite is The love languages.

Prepare meals together. This is on top of my couples bucket list. Meal prep does not only save you money but the process of doing it is meaningful. Planning, going to the groceries together and cooking. It helped me become more considerate because we have different preferences when it comes to food.

Have breakfast in bed. You see those movies on TV having breakfast in bed? I think they’re sweet. You can do it too. Surprise your partner with a healthy and delicious breakfast on the bed. This is something I want to try for this year.

Take a bubble bath together. In every household in Japan, bathtubs are always present. So as bubble baths and soaps. We love bubble baths, especially in winter. It’s so relaxing, calming and we can have meaningful conversations.

Set a star wars day, and watch all star wars movies. Call in sick, take a break from your job, and block all distractions. Watch your favorite series of movies all day. Ours is star wars movies. Can you believe that? We watch all star wars movies in a day. 

Binge-watch movie series on Netflix or Hulu. The joy of watching series that you both love is indescribable. Buy or cook some popcorn, dim the lights, and light some candles. My favorites are Kingdom, The Last Airbender, and Friends

Bring back memories and watch old pictures together. This is one of my favorites on my bucket list. Looking at old pictures brings joy and love to me. 

Couples bucket list 2: Romantic and Date ideas

Visit the place you had your first date or first kiss. Bring back those sweet memories and relive your first moments together.

Write love letters to each other. This can be emotional for both. Writing a love letter is a meaningful way to express your love and affection. Write the things you love about each other. Be as honest as you can be and express your gratitude, affection, and hopes.

Go on a Romantic Picnic. A simple, yet profound, date idea that will help you stay in love and generally celebrate your relationship and staying in love is going on a picnic. Pack some snacks and red wine, bring badminton rackets, get active, and have fun together.

Ride in a hot air balloon. It can be an expensive activity but worth the money if you are with the right person. Create moments, not just dreams.

Watch a romantic movie at the cinema. Herein lies the budget-friendly date idea: pick your favorite movie and book tickets to the cinema. Don’t forget the popcorn and a can of soda. 

Stay in a love hotel in Japan. Love hotels are everywhere in Japan and it is such a fascinating part of their culture. Get to experience it. 

Visit Disney land or Disney sea. When you commit to improving your relationship and staying stronger, fill your couples bucket list with fun and adventure. Visit Disney land. Spend some extra money for the costumes if you want and take hundreds of pictures together.

Go to the beach and catch the sunset. This is such a beautiful thing to do. Sunsets have always been associated with peace, calm, greatness, and awesomeness. Your relationship will be blessed from spending some time on the beach and watching the sunset.

Get a couple massage. Make a conscious effort to relax and eliminate stress. Have a couple massage and refreshments.

Surprise your partner on their birthday. Spend a couple of times to plan your surprise. It can be making videos, reserving a fancy restaurant, buying your partner something he/she really wants or getting messages from close friends. 

See a live concert. This is on my bucket list since my boyfriend is into music so much. Kinda my own bucket list as well because I’ve never been to a live concert. 

Learn and play a love song in a foreign language. When you feel bored and have got nothing to do. Learn how to sing and play your favorite songs in a foreign language. 

Couples Bucket list 3: Holidays

Osaka catle Ilumination, osaka Japan

See illuminations. These special events request your presence. It’s such a beautiful and romantic place to visit and take photos.

Watch 10 Christmas movies. This is one of the most common things couples do at Christmas. Okay too common but what can I say, it’s one of my favorite things to do on holidays and it never gets old. 

Spend Christmas in a foreign country. This is such an adventurous thing to do on holidays. You will get to explore a new place and experience new things and come back home in awe and with new discoveries.

Attend festivals. Find yourself in fun and attend festivals in your hometown and other places too. 

Host a holiday event at your place and invite friends

Exchange gifts. If your partner’s love language gift, then this is a perfect thing to do. If you are all about Japan and Japanese snacks, I have the best gift idea for you.

Go shopping together. Remember that the simple things you do together like shopping have importance in building a stronger relationship. 

Take a holiday picture together. Have your picture printed and put them in a nice frame. Make it visible in your room so you’ll be reminded of this awesome memory every day. 

Couples Bucket list 4: Travels and Adventures

Visit a new country once a year. Make videos about your travels and put it on YouTube. Share it with your friends and the rest of the world

Explore your locals and small towns in the neighborhood

Hike a mountain. Get moving. You can start small and if you love it, you are so free to hike the highest mountain in your country.

Go camping. Camping is one of the most exciting things to do together. Setting up the tent, gazing at the stars in the sky at night, lying on the grass, and making your food. By taking a few moments to feel each other’s love, turn off your brain and your phones, no worries, you allow yourself space and the focus to know and connect with your partner 

Go fruit picking remember to take a break and go strawberry picking.

Visit 20 new cafes in a year. Transform your stress or worries into enjoying cafes. 

Go bungee jumping. When it comes to adventurous things that you can do, why settle for nice when bungee jumping is also a wonderful experience you can have? 

Go river rafting. Bring some adventure in your relationship and try river rafting. 

Go snowboarding or skiing. Treat yourself to something special and add winter sports to your bucket list. 

Visit Japan in Autumn and see the foliage. Autumn is the best season to visit Japan. These pictures will convince you.

Couples Bucket list 5: Personal growth

Learn a foreign language together. Being able to speak a second language brings you lots of opportunities like meeting new people, leveling up your career, and traveling around the world. If you have this dream, it would be meaningful and fun to do it with your loved one. Italki is a learning platform we love and been studying Japanese for 4 years now.

Improve your English with a native teacher on italki today!

Write a diary for a month and show it to each other. This is a great way to get to know each other best. 

Exchange your to-do list or use the same planner. 

Buy each other a self-help book. There is power in books. Start with these recommendations if you have no idea.

Set personal goals and plan your future. 

Meditate. Sit in a quiet place. Focus on your breath moving in and out, feel the energy, and connect with your partner. Imagine the excitement, hope, dreams, laughs, tears, and endless sea of love you have. 

Watch TED talks. There is always something to learn from someone. And TED is the best platform there is for ideas. 

Host a podcast together. Choose a topic, you both love. No pressure, just have a normal conversation and share it on Spotify.

Learn a skill together. Head over to UDEMY and learn a new skill together. 

 Go to the gym together or exercise at home.

    Wow I love these ideas! I love the bubble bath one especially. That is SO romantic! I definitely might even try learning a song in a foreign language! My boyfriend is Puerto Rican and although he isn’t fluent in Spanish, he can understand a lot of it and I absolutely love the language. I’m always saying we need to learn it and I think learning a song could be super fun! Thanks for these ideas!

    Having a bubble / warm bath together is one of the many activities my husband and I do every day. This is our time to relax after dinner and have fun conversations together.
    One thing that you haven’t included when you mentioned bathtubs in Japan is that it is (most of the time) impossible to share the tub because it is small, best for a single person only.

  • 💫Cultivating self-worth⁠
⁠
For years, I have been trying to find my worth from the outside. From other people and my environment. I had to learn the hard way that self-worth doesn't come from the outside. It doesn't come from how I look, or from what I own. It's not about buying a new dress, car, or makeup, nor having a perfect relationship.⁠
⁠
💫Self-worth comes from within. Choose to notice what you love about yourself and embrace who you are to find and increase your self-worth. One last thing👇🏻⁠
⁠
Don't pull yourself in the circle of comparison.⁠
⁠
