How To Create A Couple’s Vision Board

The end of the year is around the corner; and with that, the desire of starting the year on the right foot intensifies.

The excitement of a new year and a fresh start makes us want to work on our self-growth and achieve all our personal goals. And the New Year’s energy is perfect for that.

That being said, while it’s very important to work on ourselves to be better, we can’t forget to work on our relationship as well. Especially when you have been together for quite some time.

Setting goals as a couple is a great activity for relationship building. It also helps to see which goals do you have in common and what do you want to achieve in the short or long term.

By creating a couple’s vision board, both of you will be able to land those dreams that both of you have.

Below, I’ll be explaining in more detail how to create a couple’s vision board, what do you need, and some of the questions you will be asking each other to set it up.

Now, there are multiple ways to create a vision board. You can do a physical one, or you can have a digital version. The later, it’s a great option for those couples who don’t live together, and you can easily make one in a website like Canva.

What Do You Need To Make A Couple’s Vision Board?

If you are creating a physical vision board, these are the materials you will need:

• A cork board. This is the same one I’m using for mine, and it’s from Target. The good thing about cork boards is that you can reuse them multiple times.
  You can also use a poster board or any other material that you can use as a base.
• A printer (to print the images that will represent your goals). You can also use magazine if you have them.
• Pins to hold the images on the cork board. I got these ones at Target.

Steps To Make A Vision Board

1. Choose a Timeframe

The key to make a couple’s vision board work, is to have both people in the same page.

For example, do you feel ready to have a baby, pet, or own a house? Those sort of question will help you have some clarity of your future as well.

Another important question: are you doing this for your long or short term goals? The answer will give you an idea of the kind of things you both will want on your vision board.

In my case, my husband and I decided that our vision board will represent what we want to achieve in two years.

We felt like there were a lot of changes going on in our lives and that we couldn’t really decide on our long term goals in a specific way.

For us, one year felt too soon for the things we wanted to materialized; and on the contrary, five years felt too far away, and we wanted to work more on our short term goals.

By setting a timeframe, we were able to believe the goals we wanted to manifest. They felt achievable and more real at the moment of visualization.

2. Identify The Categories

Life has many areas that you can work on, so it’s also important to decide what part of your life together you want to focus on.

Here are some life categories you can add to your couple’s vision board:

• Relationships and family
• Career and business
• Health and wellness
• Education
• Spirituality
• Material possessions 
• Finances
• Hobbies and fun

3. Get A Clear Vision And Be Specific

Manifesting your desires with a vision board is much easier when you have clear goals in your mind. That’s why is so important to talk with your partner.

When you say “we want abundance”, What does that mean to you? Traveling more? Having a house? Have a certain amount of combined income? You decide!

Being specific and creating definitions, will also help you to define better your goals as a couple. It also tells you where you are standing in certain topics.

4. Search For Those Representative Images

Now that you have worked on those definitions, it’s time to search for those visuals that will bring your couple’s vision board to life.

If you know how to use Canva or any other editing software, you can go the extra mile and edit some of the photos to fit your idea.

For example: if you want to manifest a trip to a particular country, paste a photo of you two on that specific place you want to visit when you go.

Or if you want a house a certain color and you can’t find it online, paint on a random house the color you want.

The point of this is that it will look more believable, and closer to what you want. It will also help you feel the manifestation more real.

Remember: feeling deeply your desires, is key to manifesting. You have to believe is possible.

Symbols are also a great way to fill your vision board.

For example, the infinity symbol has a powerful meaning. It can be balance, focus, harmony, and peace. Also, that life and love is infinite.

Other options that you have: the “om” symbol, a photo of Christ, Buddha, a sun radiating light, or anything that represents universal intelligence or God. This is an acknowledgment and a reminder that everything comes from the infinite source.

5. Add Affirmations

Another important part of your vision board (that some people forget about), is to add some affirmations throughout it.

For example: near that picture of you and your significant other in your new house, write: “we love our dream home” or something like “our dream house is already on its way to us”.

Same if you want to make more money: “we earn more than $5000 a month each”.

Make sure your affirmations are positive and present tense.

Be sure to also include the cosmic affirmation “This, or something better, now manifests for me in totally satisfying and harmonious ways, for the highest good of all concerned.”, or something like “I am deserving of a wonderful life.”

When you add a cosmic affirmation, you are opening the door to more blessings.

This is important because sometimes we don’t know how amazing it can be for us, and without knowing we might be limiting the blessings the universe wants to give us.

I know that in many websites say that you have to be super specific with your manifestations; but I say, leave some wiggle room to receive more.

6. Arrange The Pictures In Your Couple’s Vision Board

The next step is to arrange all the images, symbols and affirmations into your vision board. You can use the Bagua Map (Feng Shui) to organize your vision board.

The idea is that all the goals in the same categories go together. That way your vision board will look more organized.

In my vision board I also added a photo of my husband and I together in the middle of the cork board.

I did this in a way to connect better with all the goals we wanted to manifest. I wanted our vision board to be a clear representation of what we wanted as a couple.

Near our photo, I also added a cosmic affirmation.

Creating a layout and organizing all your goals can be a little overwhelming when you have many pictures. Just remember to relax and have fun. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

What To Do After You Finish Your Couple’s Vision Board

Now that your vision board is done, there are a couple of things that you need to know once you finish this activity.

1. Put Your Vision Board In a Visible Spot

This is a very important step. It needs to be in a place where you can constantly see it.

You and your partner should have a good look at it at least twice a day (for example, when you wake up and when you go to bed), and read your affirmations out loud if you can.

Don’t forget to visualize each manifestation as it’s already happening.

You can also take a photo of your vision board and set it as a wallpaper, or you can add it as photo widget. That way you can always have access to it.

2. Set Dates To Review Goals

Manifesting your dreams takes some effort, so it’s important that you and your partner take time to review the goals you put there.

Take your vision board as a road map to make your dreams come true.

For example; if you want to buy a house, how are you planning on doing that?

The idea is that you can create a plan that is easy to follow. You can simply start looking for houses in the area you are interested in.

To manifest you need to take action, but this action doesn’t have to be hard.

Don’t forget that you actually have to feel and believe whatever you want to manifest will come true. Know that the universe is already moving to make it happen. It’s already yours.

Also, don’t put too much thought on how something in particular is going to happen. Just believe it will. You don’t need the details.
