You might be wondering what the point of a couple’s bucket list is and what could it possibly include. After all, what are the usual goals for couples? Get a great job, buy a house and a car together, start a family, etc. I say boring. When you are in love, your partner is most likely your best friend, and when you get to spend so much time with your best friend, boring adult things are the last things that should be on your bucket list.
Take time out, think of all the things that both of you love to do and chalk out a bucket list that is not only going to help you create some of the best memories ever, but it is going to help you grow and learn as a couple as well. If you are not willing to work so hard, then you’re in luck because we’ve done the thinking for you.

Here are 23 things that you MUST include on your couple’s bucket list.
1. Go on a spontaneous road trip

A spontaneous road trip is one of the best ways to spend time together. Before you embark on the spontaneous road trip, make sure you have a little bag packed and ready so you don’t get flustered when it’s time to tick it off your couple’s bucket list.
2. Go unplugged and tech-free for an entire day

This is one of the more difficult additions to the list. Going unplugged not only means not going on Facebook or Instagram for 24 hours. It means not touching your phones at all, whether it is for checking messages, or checking the time. Rest assured, it’s going to be a rewarding experience for any couple.
3. Write love letter(s) to each other and post it

A love letter was the only form of communication between lovers in the good ol’ days and there is nothing more exciting than reviving the tradition. A physical letter that you received in the mail from your love is something that is worth preserving forever.
4. Get a dog together

It has been scientifically proven that dogs are a one way ticket to eternal happiness, so unless you are allergic or something, get a furry friend together.
5. Go on a food trek all over your city

Whether you like one particular kind of food or food in general, go full TLC on your relationship and embark on a memorable feast day by going on a food trek in all the quaint, popular, and unknown places in your city.

Do not undermine the importance of a water gun fight. Take special time out to engage in a water gun fight and you will find out things about your partner you had never even imagined.
7. Cook and bake together

Cooking and baking together is not only a fun activity for couples bound to produce interesting results, but it is also sensual and something you should do together at least once in your life. It doesn’t matter whether you end up with a whole lot of food that is inedible or you discover a little master chef in your partner. Cooking is super sensuous and exciting as far as couple’s activities go.
8. Build a pillow fort and stay up all night

This is a perfect thing to do on a lazy weekend or a weekday when you are unable to go out for some reason or the other. With a pillow fort and a romantic setting and soft lighting, staying up all night and reminiscing about all the great memories you’ve shared will be no effort at all.
9. Kiss on top of a Ferris wheel

The thrill and adrenaline rush of it all will make this one of the most special kisses you share as a couple. If you have co-operative friends, you can even have them take pictures of the moment for you because this is something you would want to cherish all your life.
10. Engage in active and serious role playing

What is the point of including role playing on your bucket list? Firstly, a scarily small number of people understand the awesomeness of role playing, and secondly, it is exciting as hell. Dressing up as someone or something else and then completely immersing yourself in that role gives your relationship the kind of excitement that serious things lack.
11. Recreate favorite scenes from your favorite movie(s)

There is no harm in adding another fun activity that you can do together to your special couple’s bucket list. In fact, it adds to your store of memories. Recreate, with costume and impeccable dialogues and all, some of your most favorite scenes from your most favorite movies.

Make sure that at least once in your life you go out in public after allowing your partner to put body paint on you. However, there is no need to worry because you get to put body paint on them too and go out. After all, you are in this together, right?
13. Get naughty in a risky place

Making out is always exciting when you are in love. However, making out in a risky place like a crowded subway station or in the library in which both of you are members, is something that needs to be included in your bucket list as a couple.
14. Find a pair of friends do double date with

By double date I don’t mean find the friend who is in a relationship and go out with them. I am talking about securing lifelong friendships with people who have found the right kind of love, just like yours.
15. Become regular customers somewhere

The thrill of stepping into your favorite joint and then saying “the usual” as your order is the most satisfying feeling in the world, especially when you get to do it with the person you love, which is why this has to be on your couple’s bucket list.
16. Get a couple’s monogram

Getting a couple’s monogram is not only a great inclusion on your joint bucket list, but it is also a large commitment to make, which is something that stands as proof of your love. Also, make sure you put it on something important.
17. Get kicked out of a departmental store

Whether it is Tesco or Ikea or Walmart, what should be on your bucket list is getting kicked out of one these large department stores because you probably got caught knocking down a shelf while playing hide and seek with your partner.
18. Have a date night every week

It is absolutely imperative that you go out on a date at least once every week, whether you have gone out together before or not. An official date should be a constant part of any bucket list you make as a couple, to keep that spark alive and aflame.

Make sure that you make it to the place of which you have kept pictures and cut-outs pasted in your walls, or pinned on your maps and dreamed about, because the thrill of finally making it there with your love by your side is irreplaceable.

Whether it is a meal or a painting or a personalized board game, make sure that you and the love of your life create something together that can be preserved forever and enjoyed even years later with each other.
21. Get your own mix tape

Mix tapes usually belong to the realm of singles enamored with unrequited love, but break the rules for a change and make a mix tape with all the songs that are your favorites and all the songs that mean something to you and make a memories tape.
22. Get a couple’s massage at a luxury spa or resort

I admit that this might cost you a little extra, but that’s why it’s on the bucket list and not “must-do-at-all-times” list. Getting a massage as a couple has been therapeutically proven to improve relationships and even save marriages, but you can just get one because it feels great.
