Let's talk about relationship goals. Every girl-some guys- has their idea of what relationship goals are. For some their "goals" is a Christ-centered relationship, a very clingy relationship, or maybe just a relationship with a ridiculous amount of love. For me, relationship goals are a relationship that is Christ centered and one that has a ridiculous amount of love. Aside from what our "goals" are, we can't even begin to have someone to look up to for relationship goals if the individual doesn't have a relationship with Christ. If you don't have a one-on-one relationship with Jesus, how can you even begin to have one with Him as a couple?

Personally, I don't mind when a person has relationship goals, but what I do mind is what those "goals" are. If you're constantly posting pictures that have girls on guys backs, or them kissing excessively, or them laying on top of each other, is that really relationship goals?

We tend to label these "goals", and to be brutally honest, the majority of the couples girls are considering as goals, are skinny, privileged white girls with their to hot to trot boyfriends. Ok, yes those a real people, but that is just a stereotype that looks good.

If we are going to admire a couple for their relationship goals though, let's talk about Savannah Soutas and Cole LaBrant, and for a more experienced couple, Chip and Joanna Gaines.

If you know who Cole and Savannah are, then you know they are what most of us consider relationship goals and a couple that I actually consider as well. Savannah and Cole both as a couple and separately have their faith in God. Savannah has a daughter named Everleigh that is the most adorable kid ever. Cole and Savannah are engaged now and Everleigh has taken Cole as her dad and calls him dad, even though he is not her dad. Cole is a perfect father and Savannah is a perfect mother to Everleigh, and as a family, they have an abundance of love for each other and Jesus. If you follow them on social media, you can keep up with them and their little family and their love for Jesus. If you want someone to look up to for "relationship goals", Savannah and Cole would be a great choice.

Now onto the couple that is a little older and more experienced, but is just as loving and in their faith as Cole and Savannah-Chip and Joanna Gaines. Chip and JoJo-as most of us call her- are another couple that I really look up to and hope to have a life like theirs. They have beautiful, respectful children and a relationship and family that is Christ centered. Although on "Fixer Upper"-their hit home improvement show- we don't see much of their faith, in interviews they always discuss it and tell how important it is in their life. Chip and JoJo are a couple that I feel are just an older version of Cole and Savannah, honestly though.

If you want to have relationship goals, first have a relationship with God on your own and then bring that into your relationship with your partner and you will flourish like these two couples have.

In anything remember who you are and remember that Jesus is the first relationship we need.
