A bucket list is a great idea! My husband and I talk about it, but dont write it down. Some of our ideas…
Visit Rio de Janerio
Read the bible (front to back) together
Watch the Superbowl in person
Meet the President
Go to the Kentucky Derby, wear a crazy hat and drink a mint julep
I love the first item on the list. Talking in accents is one thing that not only cheers me up but my husband and I always end up laughing. He has a tendency to flow from one accent to the next and it is great. I really like the idea of creating a bucket list together. I know what we are doing this weekend!
Spend a week in a cabin over the ocean in the south Pacific
Ride motorcycles down the Pacific coast highway
See a Broadway musical
Spend 3-4 weeks traveling out west, build our dream home….
This is such a great list! The African Safari is definitely on our bucket list too!! Thanks for inspiring me in my marriage daily!

2 of my 5 children have had bucket list…..told em about the most famous bucket listers….John Goddard ….a long time ago. My daughters includes some unusual ones…”Break or sprain a leg” and along list of ‘not for the faint of heart’.
Swim with dolphinsVacation to Bora Bora and stay in a hut on the water
Stay a weekend in a fancy hotel with no technology

Having done some of the items on our unofficial Bucket List, here is what I have:European Vacation (Germany, Norway in 2014)
Alaska cruise (Planning this for our 50th Anniversary)
Hot Air Balloon ride
Mediterranean Cruise
Visit the Holy Land

Communication is a definite plus! We have weekly meetings to reconnect of how our week went and what we can do better for our marriage! Our bucket list contains all inclusive carribean vacation, taking a photography class, going to at least 6 concerts a year of variety of music
We made a bucket list and it had our attention, then we had kids…. And its been hard to get back to pay attention.
Creating a combined bucket list is on my personal bucket list. Also, to visit Haiti, design and build a house, and record a cd together.
Explore europe, my husband wants to play blues music in pubs while in europe.
I love this I personal have never thought about making a bucket list until I seen I could make one with my husband we’ve been together 9 years married going on 7 we have 4 wonderful children starting at 17 mine from a previous relationship then 8, 4, and our peanut almost 5 months we live and small town and we don’t even have a stop light out marriage isn’t where I want it to be I grew up in a broken home so wasn’t sure how the whole marriage thing worked but we are working on it
Bucket lists would be a communication tool to allow dreams to unfold, plan and complete
I love you guys. Clearly your golf goal doesn’t come from much golf knowledge. One does not play golf. One golfs. Similar to I don’t play bowling; I bowl. Too cute. Love the idea of a bucket list for couple or family. I love all you do for couples and proud of your ministry of saving marriages and families.
“In the lexicon of serious golfers, ‘golf’ is exclusively a noun.
“Serious golfers play golf. They never golf or go golfing.”
Another reader, Mary Boyd Click, wrote, “[I]n defense of golfers everywhere, someone please tell op-ed writer Matthew Algeo, all readers and the world that ‘golf’ is not a verb.
Taken from a washington post article. Just so you aren’t spreading misinformation. ❤️
