About the Book
"Michael believes that relationships are the epicenter of human thriving. All too often, though, we lack the tools or vision to build our relationships on the wisdom and power of God. In other words, it's good to have a goal, but you can't get there without proper aim. By charting a course that candidly examines our most common pitfalls, and by unpacking explosive truths from God's Word, Michael's debut book will transform a trendy hashtag into a future where your most cherished relationships thrive in relational life, hope, and abundance"--Book Synopsis
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A candid, inspiring guide to finding lasting love and sustaining a healthy relationship by getting real about your goals--based on the viral, multi-million-view sermon series about dating, marriage, and sex "No matter where you are and no matter what stage of life you are in, Relationship Goals will be a game changer."--Levi Lusko Realer than the most real conversation you've ever heard on the topic, Michael Todd's honest, heartfelt, and powerful teaching on relationships has already impacted millions of people in all seasons of life around the world. Now, in Relationship Goals, Michael tells his own story of heartache and healing, unpacks explosive truths from God's Word, and tells it to you straight to help you win at relationships in every part of your life. Where did the idea for relationships come from in the first place? Does God really care who I hang out with? Is it even possible to avoid relational train wrecks? From his plan for intentional dating in the age of social media to handling break-ups well to doing family instead of just being in a family, Michael tackles the questions we all have about relational success. As he candidly examines our most common pitfalls in relationships and the start-today ways to get past them, Michael helps you align your longings with God's awesome desires for your life. Now, that's a good relationship goal.Review Quotes
"The way God has moved this message like wildfire to millions of people speaks volumes about its value. There is no turnkey or quick fix to having rich relationships. With down-to-earth honesty, Michael Todd not only gives you a vision for what your relationships could look like, but he also gives you the road map to get you there."--Levi Lusko, lead pastor of Fresh Life Church and bestselling author"Michael Todd is one of my favorite preachers. He is a great man of God. I am so proud of him, and I am so glad he wrote this much-needed book about relationships. I know you'll love his authentic, personal, and engaging way of explaining how relationships work best when we do them God's way. Using principles from God's Word, this book will help you learn how to have better and more intimate relationships with your friends, your spouse, and, most important, with God!"--Robert Morris, founding lead senior pastor of Gateway Church and bestselling author of The Blessed Life, Beyond Blessed, and Take the Day Off
"We are often encouraged to practice what we preach. However, I think it's also important to preach what we practice. This is exactly what Mike and Natalie Todd have done. They have taken their lumps and transformed them into lessons. They have taken their pain and turned it into purpose. They have taken their mistakes and turned them into ministry. They have taken their blessings and turned them into a book. If you are looking for a blueprint to a blessed relationship, this book is for you."--Dr. Dharius Daniels, lead pastor of Change Church and author of Relational Intelligence
"Mike has been a dear friend since we were twenty years old--just recording music in Tulsa together. As we've both moved into ministry, I've seen God expand Mike's reach greatly, but his humility and kindness have never changed with all the public praise. He's the real deal on and off the stage, and he's such an exemplary man of God for our generation. The message God has given Mike on relationship goals is one hundred percent fire! It is so important for anyone wanting to build Christ-centered, successful relationships. I'm so thankful for Mike and Natalie not just sharing a message but sharing their lives as a great example for marriage and family!"--Paul Daugherty, lead pastor of Victory in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Ummm.....really struggled here to finish this book. I wanted to like and support it but it fell short on several ends in my opinion. First, the spoken word does not always translate well in the literal sense. For the topic,this book seems way too casual with some thrown in current clichés and song lyrics. As I was reading the book, I kept wondering if he wrote it for teenagers or for grown people with grown issues. Given the topic, I assumed it was the latter and not the former. But the writing style kept me thinking this was really for high school and college students. That being said, I have read better young adult books that read better than this one. I have read on some reviews that this sermon series was actually much better than the book. I will have listen to it and go from there. Ultimately I was highly disappointed in some of the advice the author. I pretty almost stopped reading when I got his definition of a soul tie - “The soul is made up of three distinct parts: the mind, the will, and the emotions. Your mind is how you think, your will is what you desire, and your emotions display how you feel. If you think about it, the collaboration of these three entities directs your entire life.” Where is this is located in the Bible? It seems to contrast Matthew 22:37 where it is written “Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' I am not a biblical scholar by any means, but the two seem to contradict themselves. Maybe I am the one that need to do more research. His unfounded non evidence-based assumptions on home life were...astonishing. And I quote “You’re a child of divorce or of unmarried parents, with bad home examples from Mom and Dad, your aunties and uncles and cousins, and the grandparents. You probably grew up with some level of abuse or neglect, fear or anxiety as a result.”
Very good book!

I have loved Pastor Michael Todd since I first saw his first sermon on the Relationship Goals Series! In fact, it is the reason I bought this book! I am going through a divorce and trying to get back into the dating world all while trying to be content in my singleness! (whew, just typing that was exhausting). My books just came in last week and I am so excited to be H.O.T (Humble Open and Transparent) with myself! This man is GIFTED! I would recommend this book to ANYONE! He has helped me through a lot of seasons in my life and I am ONLY 30! Pastor Mike is very relatable and I have never logged off an online sermon disappointed! I wish he would make an appearance here in Dallas!

The writer shares good information on how to navigate through various relationships. I appreciated the shared experiences and positive messages throughout the book.
I’m not sure if this is his first book, but the writing style seems very elementary. Thus, my reason for the lower stars.

Michael Todd is a phenomenal pastor and, now, author. In Relationship Goals he reveals aspects of relationships that I never paid attention to or dived deep into. He breaks down the way to handle and do relationships, in the way that Jesus has intended for us to do and it’s beautiful. Young and old can learn from this book; there is something for everyone! I definitely recommend this book!
