For example, the romantic proposal at the spot where they had their first date.
Or maybe you imagine their subsequent (and equally stunning) beachside wedding.
While these things areabsolutelymilestones that should be celebrated, these only show a snippet of the full picture.

What these posts we comment relationship goals!
ondontshow are the in-between instances that make a love story what it truly is.
And Id argue the spaces that break up those Instagrammable moments are the most important and romantic of all.
Well, at least theycanbe.
Can you share comfortable silences together?
Do find ways to make each others humanity easier to carry?
Do you speak tenderly to one another?
Do you behave in caring and respectful ways?
Do you love them through the fights, even when theyre being difficult as hell?
Do they do the same for you?
Will you forgive them?
Will they forgive you?
Are you both committed?
If you said yes to any of these,thoseare relationship goals.
Its not about how good your relationship looks to others.
Its about how it feels standing within it.
That you chose them and they chose you back.
True relationship goals are better than picture-perfect becausetheyre real.
Its not just about cute Instagram posts.
Its more about what youdontpost online and share only with one another.
Those are relationship goals worth chasing.
Those are the things I want.
And I hope thats what you want, too.
