A Couples Exercise
Dream With Me
A guided worksheet to help you and your spouse discover, share, and pursue your dreams together.
1
Your Dreams
Complete this section individually. Be honest, dream big, and don't be afraid to write it down.
Your list needs no particular order. Ideas to get you started: buy or build a house, travel,
start a business, explore a new hobby, or plan an unforgettable experience.
✦ Continue your list on a separate sheet if needed — there is no limit to your dreams.
2
Share Together
Plan an uninterrupted 1.5 – 2 hours together. Take turns walking through each other's lists.
Explain why each dream matters to you. Ask questions and listen deeply — this is a moment for real
intimacy and partnership. Done well, you become each other's champion in making dreams happen.
3
Make a Plan
Work through each dream with four lenses — Timeframe: when can this happen?
Money: how will it be funded?
Planning: what research or steps are needed?
Priority: rank what comes first. Consider cost, logistics, and compromise.
Make this list actionable, not just a wish list.

Pro Tip
Open a dedicated online savings account (Ally, Capital One, etc.) named after your dream. Set up an automatic transfer and a target amount. When it's full — you're ready to go. Some dreams are money-driven; others are calendar-driven. Both need a plan.
You've got this. Go make dreams come true.
