The Marriage Ritual

The Union Prompt Library · Memory & Story

Memory questions for couples

Every couple is also a story — but stories fade unless someone tells them. The sound of your home this week, the lesson inside a hard season, the sentence that would open the book of your first year: these details feel unforgettable right up until they’re forgotten.

These questions turn remembering into something you do together, out loud, while it’s still warm. They also happen to be the answers that read best in a printed keepsake years from now.

  1. If you could capture one specific sound or feeling from our home this week to keep forever in a time capsule, what would it be?
  2. Looking back at our first month of rituals, what is one thing you’ve discovered about 'us' that you want to make sure we never forget?
  3. Think of a recent 'repair' we made after a conflict. What did you learn about us in that process?
  4. Looking back at our last 12 reveals, which entry of mine is your favorite, and why?
  5. What has been the most surprising thing you've learned about 'us' through this ritual so far?
  6. If you could write the 'Introduction' to our Volume 1 Keepsake Book, what would be the first sentence?

Union asks you one of these each week — free.
