Marriage is a partnership in every sense of the word. It requires both spouses to work together, to communicate, and to support each other. One of the best ways to ensure that you and your spouse are on the same page is by creating a dream and goal board. This board can be a powerful tool that can help you and your spouse not only work towards, but to achieve your shared aspirations, whether it’s a big purchase or a life goal.

What is a goal board


A goal board, also known as a vision board or dream board, is a physical board or poster that displays a collection of images, quotes, and affirmations that represent your goals and aspirations. The purpose of a goal board is to serve as a visual reminder each and every day, of your desires, to keep you motivated and focused on achieving them.

A goal board typically consists of a large poster board or corkboard, where you can add images or cutouts from magazines, printed quotes, or handwritten affirmations that represent your goals. For example, if your goal is to travel to a particular country, you can add pictures of that country or places you want to visit. If your goal is to run a marathon, you can add pictures of runners or inspirational quotes about perseverance and endurance.

By creating a goal board, you can visualize your goals, and it can serve as a daily reminder of what you want to achieve. It can also help you stay motivated and inspired when you encounter obstacles or setbacks. The process of creating a goal board can be an enjoyable and creative activity, allowing you to tap into your imagination and envision your future. Overall, a goal board is a helpful tool to stay focused on your aspirations and make progress towards achieving them.

As most people are visual, when you make a goal board/vision board you are visually seeing that everyday and it will help create the clear picture of what you are working towards.

Why a married couple should make a dream and goal board

It creates alignment

When you create a dream and goal board together, you can align your individual dreams and goals with each other’s. This helps you understand each other’s priorities and aspirations and work towards a shared vision for your future. For example, if one spouse wants to save up for a vacation, while the other wants to save for a down payment on a house, you can find ways to compromise and work towards both goals together. It is much easier to accomplish goals together rather than trying to do them on your own.

It inspires motivation

Having a visual representation of your dreams and goals can be incredibly motivating. Seeing what you want to achieve or acquire can inspire you to work harder, save more, or take risks to make those dreams a reality. By having a dream and goal board, you and your spouse can remind each other of your shared aspirations, and it can serve as a source of motivation during challenging times.

It fosters accountability

Sharing your goals with each other creates a sense of accountability. You can support each other in staying on track and encourage each other to take the necessary steps to achieve your goals. For example, if you and your spouse are saving for a down payment on a second home, you can keep each other accountable by reminding each other to save money and avoid unnecessary expenses.

It strengthens the relationship

Working together to create a dream and goal board can be a fun and bonding activity. It can help you learn more about each other and deepen your connection as a couple. Moreover, when you achieve your goals together, it can be a rewarding experience that strengthens your relationship even further.

To create a dream and goal board, start by doing the following:

  1. Discuss your individual dreams and goals together and determine what they are and how you are going to accomplish them.
  2. Write them down on a piece of paper, and then transfer them to a poster board. You can add pictures, quotes, and other visual elements to make the board more appealing.
  3. Place the board in a prominent location, such as your bedroom or living room, so you can see it every day.

In conclusion, creating a dream and goal board can be a great way for a married couple to align their aspirations, motivate each other, hold each other accountable, and strengthen their relationship. It’s a simple yet effective way to work towards your shared goals and create a bright future together.
