Caring Connections: How to Create Relationship Goals

When you're a couple, it’s important to set goals together. Goals help you grow in your relationship and as an individual. Whether you want to focus on scheduling more time to bond with your partner or talk about budgeting, there is an array of different achievements you can work toward together.


While goals will vary from couple to couple, we’ve outlined some common couple goals below.

Financial Goals

One of the most important things you should be talking about in your relationship is how you should manage your finances. Maybe you are in debt and need to work toward paying it off, or you’re trying to save for a home. But if you have different money priorities than your partner, it could lead to resentment.

Bonding Goals

When you’re in a relationship for a long time, you can forget about the importance of building unique memories with your partner. This is why it’s important to create bonding goals and seek out new experiences.


You might schedule a day of the week for date nights or plan a roadtrip with your partner. Start discussing your bucket list and check off activities as you do them. You might even set goals to bond with your partner by building new healthy habits to manage stress.

Communication Goals

Communication is the foundation of a successful relationship. This is why you and your partner should work toward creating healthy communication habits. You should make it a goal to express your feelings openly and honestly with one another while practicing active listening.


You and your partner might even set aside a time each day where you have a “catch-up” chat where you share your thoughts and feelings together.


When you collaborate and set goals with your partner, your relationship is sure to flourish. To learn more about couple goals, check out the infographic by Annuity below.
