The Instagram Illusion: What #RelationshipGoals Really Means

Scroll through Instagram for five minutes and you'll see them everywhere-couples in matching outfits, surprise proposals at sunset, breakfast in bed with rose petals. The #RelationshipGoals hashtag has over 10 million posts painting romance as a highlight reel of perfect moments. But here's the uncomfortable truth: most of these curated snapshots hide chaos behind the camera. The couple sharing a candlelit dinner might have fought bitterly an hour before. The "spontaneous" beach kiss took seventeen takes to get the lighting right. This disconnect between perception and reality creates dangerous expectations. We're chasing relationships that look good online rather than relationships that feel good in real life. Growing up in Tulsa, Michael Todd learned about relationships primarily from TV shows and movies-not exactly reliable sources. Most of us receive similar "education," absorbing romantic ideals from entertainment rather than wisdom from mentors. The church often contributes to this knowledge gap by offering only basic prohibitions without practical guidance. We're told what not to do but rarely shown what healthy relationships actually look like. The result? We drift through dating without purpose, taking whatever comes rather than intentionally pursuing what's right. Real relationship goals require aim, not just ambition-a target aligned with divine design rather than cultural trends.
