A Couple's Journaling Chronicle: Part 2

Grab your journal ans answer these questions about your relationship. If you can, both of you answer individually and then as a couple. If only one of you is doing this, that is okay, too. What a gift you have to offer your mate. Good for you. 

~*~ Your marriage is the one of the relationships in your life you choose. Your friends are another. Why do you choose to be married to your mate today?
~*~ Why did you choose to marry your mate to begin with?
~*~ What does your marriage mean to you?
~*~ What do you enjoy doing as a couple and why?
~*~ How is your communication as a couple? 
~*~ Have you had any misunderstandings lately? Why? What did you learn from them and how have you applied those lessons to your live and to your marriage?
~*~ What can you do better as a spouse?
~*~ What do you love most about your mate?
~*~ Do you still go on frequent dates? Why or why not? If so, what do you do? If not, make plans to do so.
~*~ Can you sit in silence as a couple? Or do you have to fill in the gaps with noise or talking?
~*~ What was your favorite date?
~*~ Write a letter to your spouse to read the day before you get married about your marriage up to now. Talk about your experiences--good and bad. What would you do differently for them? What would you do more of? What do you treasure most about your mate? Tell your mate why you are marrying them then and why you would do it again today. 
~*~ Write a letter to yourself to read the day before you married about your marriage up to now. Tell lessons learned, what to change, what to do more of, and so on. Say why you should marry your mate. 
~*~ Write wedding vows today. What would they be and why?

A Couple's Journaling Chronicle: Part 1

Welcome to a blog post series on journaling for the memories and lessons learned as a couple. This series is aimed at both members of the couple or just one of you. The point of journaling for you as a couple is because your relationship is one of the most significant parts of your life. Not journaling about your relationship would be like not journaling about your own personal life. Keeping a chronicle of your life story is important. After all, no on else has had the experiences you have, not everyone is like you, and every minute lived is something to cherish. This is true as individuals and as a couple.

If you have not journaled before you might want to look at the blog post series, "365-Days of Journaling Your Story" first. It is an introduction to journaling. (This is just a suggestion.) 

Shall we take a look at couples journaling now? Let's jump right in and see what transpires because of this. It will help you to remember and will help you to not take a moment for granted as a couple. Please grab your journal at this time ans answer the following questions: 

~*~ How did you meet?
~*~ When did you start dating? What did that look like?
~*~ When and how did you get engaged?
~*~ When and how did you get married?
~*~ What do you do to treat every day like Valentine's Day or like your anniversary?
~*~ What are you most grateful for in your relationship with one another?
~*~ List 25 of your most memorable experiences as a couple and what made them memorable.
~*~ What are you doing today to keep your marriage fresh?
~*~ List 10 things you love most about your marriage.
~*~ Are you happy today as a couple (overall and not just today specifically)? Why or why not?
~*~ Do you treat one another as the best thing/person in your life? What does that look like?
~*~ If you could do anything different in your marriage, what would it be?
~*~ If you were to have the ideal marriage, what would that look like? What can you do to bring this to pass?
~*~ List more memories as a couple.

Interesting

I just decided, with it almost being Love Day (Valentine's Day) and all, to do a search on Amazon for books on marriage journaling. I do not have books on it and wondered if I have missed some anywhere. Well... I have not missed anything. There is not ONE book on the subject.

I did not find any relationship journals either.

So, I did a search of couple's journaling. Well, I found a couple of journals, but not books on how to journal about your, and for your, marriage. 

Hmm. It is February 8th. Valentine's is around the corner... I will do some blog posts on Marriage Journaling from not until then. stay tuned.
