Relationship Goals, that seems to be the new catch phrase nearly everyone’s going on about.
If you’re very active on social media you will see countless photos and videos each day of couples that seem to have the perfect relationship everyone yearns to have.
They look cute, happy, loved up, inseparable and unbreakable. In the comments section are hundreds of people “oooing” and “awwing” and wishing to someday have what they have; and these comments usually come with the now popular hashtag #relationshipgoals.
Relationship Goals
When two people are in a relationship that makes others envy them, usually a celebrity couple. Everyone wants to be like them.
Everyone wants a perfect relationship, and these pictures and videos give people hope that they exist.
Because when you look at these couples all you see are the laughs, kisses, romantic gestures and get aways and the many things that make you go awwww.
They’re power couples, who seem to have it all together; great careers, families and money to back it up.
Does this make their relationship perfect? No.
Because what the pictures don’t show you are, the fights, tears,hurt, sleepless nights,doors slamming etc.
You don’t know their journey what they’ve had to put up with to get there; relationships are work and the perfection you see, are two just people who love each other enough make it work.
And this is what we all seem to miss in our quest for the perfect relationship; the work that goes into it.
We all want our partners to be loyal, faithful, committed, trustworthy, successful and a long list of things. The question is are we any of the things on this list or are we willing to work towards becoming them?
The answer most often than not is no, because a lot of people want much more than they’re willing to give or put in.
And that’s what separates you, from the #relationshipsgoals you long for.
So the next time you see a cute couple, try to look beyond the “perfection” ; appreciate the story behind the picture and before you say #relationshipgoals ask if your willing to put in the work to attain and sustain one.
