The thing is, those intimate relationships are a miragethe closer you get to them, the more you realize they aren't real at all. So what does a real relationship look like? And how do you get there? In Relationship Goals, Pastor Michael Todd digs deep to give you good news and real-life ideas for making the most of your most important relationships. Take a look at • what it means to choose intentional dating over recreational dating • how to move on from mistakes you've made in the past • why love gets stronger after marriage • what the Bible has to say about sex (hot take: it's more sizzling than you think) • why the best friendships have God at the center Whether you are married, single, or it's complicated, aiming for the right targets will make all the difference in finding true satisfaction.

Leseprobe 1 Taking Aim God's plan, God's plan I can't do this on my own Drake, God's Plan #RelationshipGoals has been a trending topic worldwide for years now.
