40 couples journal prompts to write together

Guide · Updated 2026-11-07 · Pioneer Group ApS

A shared journal turns ordinary weeks into a story you can look back on. You don't need to write much: a sentence and a photo is enough.

Memories

1. Write about the day we met, from your side.
2. Our best meal together, and what made it great.
3. A trip we'll talk about forever.
4. The first time you met my family or friends.
5. A night that didn't go to plan but turned out fine.
6. The moment you knew this was serious.
7. Our first home, or the first time I stayed over.
8. A small Tuesday that turned out to be a great day.
9. The funniest thing that's happened to us.
10. A time we were proud of each other.
