About This Book

Most people want a great relationship but have never stopped to ask whether they're actually building toward one. Michael Todd's Relationship Goals starts from that uncomfortable truth and refuses to let go of it — tracing the gap between what we say we want in love and the choices that quietly sabotage us. Drawing from the viral sermon series that reached millions, Todd digs into dating, marriage, and sex with a frankness that feels rare in faith-based writing: no soft-pedaling, no spiritual platitudes, just an honest reckoning with why so many people keep arriving at the same dead ends.

What makes the book work on the page is Todd's voice — conversational and punchy, built for readers who tune out the moment writing gets preachy. He structures each chapter around a specific failure mode, which keeps the reading brisk and the application concrete. The theological grounding never overwhelms the practical guidance; instead it gives his arguments a bedrock that self-help advice usually lacks. Readers who've felt let down by both secular relationship books and church-issued relationship advice will find something genuinely different here.
