What are some fun writing exercises for couples?

Here are a few fun writing exercises you can try together:

1. Story Building: Take turns adding a sentence to create a story.
2. Love Letters: Write a love letter to each other, then read them aloud.
3. Bucket List: Write down your top 10 things you want to do together and share them.
4. Character Creation: Create characters based on each other and write a short scene.
5. Poetry Exchange: Write a poem about your relationship and exchange them.

Those sound great! Can you give me an example of the story building exercise?

Sure! Let's say you start with the sentence: "Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a curious cat." You would then take turns adding a sentence. For example, you might add: "The cat loved to explore the nearby forest, where it discovered a hidden treasure." Then your partner could add: "But the treasure was guarded by a wise old owl who posed a riddle." Keep going until you have a complete story!

I love that idea! How long should we spend on each exercise?

It's really up to you! For each exercise, you might spend about 15-30 minutes. This gives you enough time to get creative without feeling rushed. You can always adjust the time based on how engaged you both are!

Thanks for the tips! Any other exercises you recommend?

Absolutely! You could try the 'What If' game, where you pose hypothetical scenarios and write about how you'd react. Or, you could do a 'Memory Lane' exercise, where you each write about your favorite memories together. These can spark great conversations!
