Real Life Couple Goals

More than just the picture perfect goals

Real Life Couple Goals

These days, most of us have multiple forms of social media. You probably don't usually think much of all the "couple goals" and "if he isn't doing this he's not doing it right" post as you scroll through Twitter & Instagram. But have you ever truly stopped to think about the image and intentions these post portray on what girls want out of a relationship?

I recently saw a Twitter thread that read "If your boy isn't doing this he is doing something wrong." The tweets that followed were pictures of different guy's girlfriends. They were arguing about who's girlfriend was the most attractive. Sure, it's great to know your boyfriend finds you attractive, he should! But to go as far as to say that he is doing something wrong if he isn't blowing up his social media arguing you're more attractive than others girls... well that's just vain beauty.

We, especially as Christian women, should strive to find a man who wants to find your beauty not mainly in your looks but in your heart.

"Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised" Proverbs 31:30

Your "couple goals" should not be the guy that buys you matching expensive things or that brags about how hot you are or how good your body is to all his friends. It should be the guy that wants to see you grow in your walk with the Lord. The one who loves God more than he loves you. The one who betters you as a person and as a believer.

Me personally? I hope one day I have the opportunity to be someone's biggest support in their walk with the Lord, to have someone that will only build me up and not try to break me down. I want to be the best I can be for that person. You should too!!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
