COUPLE GOAL – He is everywhere on social networks, especially on Instagram. Who ? The famous hashtag #CoupleGoal, behind which hide photos of seemingly perfect couples, madly in love, happy and living their “best life” as they write it themselves. The idea? Convey the image of the dream couple, the ideal image we have of a romantic relationship. What does couple goal mean? What truth is really hidden behind this popular keyword on couples’ social networks?

WHAT DOES COUPLE GOAL MEAN?

THE TRUE DEFINITION OF COUPLE GOAL

A couple goal (or goals), which could be translated into French as “couple objective(s) ,” is a couple who have an objective, that of perfection . To achieve this, the couple sets intermediate goals: complicity, travel, projects, respect, for example. Hence the use, which can be both plural and singular, of this hashtag.

THE USE MADE OF IT ON INSTAGRAM

The idea is to convey the image of a perfect couple or an ideal relationship through this hashtag in the caption of well-chosen photos of the couple. There are photos of couples apparently very much in love during a weekend or vacation on paradisiacal beaches and magnificent natural settings. 

The couples take the stage, tanned, thin and muscular, in bathing suits, or with chic outfits and perfect make-up. All this against the backdrop of languorous kisses and the setting sun. Their goals therefore seem rather superficial: the physical, the money, the material goods. All these photos highlight “doing” (what the couple has, their beauty, their money, their notoriety), whereas love is being (what we share, if we feel loved, understood, valued by the other).

COUPLE GOAL: IMAGE FIRST?

The image is at the centre of the concept . The couples appear with dozens of published photos and quotes and declarations of love in the caption. Some couples have even created a special #CoupleGoal(s) Instagram account and only publish photos that are close to perfection, with jacuzzi shots, swimming pools and beaches, perfect selfies, successful weddings and Valentine’s Days. 

Wouldn’t the goals couple have as their first objective to show themselves, in a society that advocates appearance, through filters? Between the need for recognition and a weapon against easy judgement, the goal couple speaks more of envelope than of content. 

We are all subject to the gaze of others and concerned about conveying a good image on social networks. Who has never redone a selfie 10 times before trying to post the perfect photo? We know it is arranged but it is good for our ego. Faced with a couple goal, the complexes are perennial: what if my couple was not perfect, not so perfect? This is how couples, one by one, fall in love with the hashtag #CoupleGoal(s) and play the game in turn.

THE REALITY BEHIND 

Filters that distort the truth, a programmed staging, a total lack of naturalness and spontaneity. And if the photos are intended as proof of perfect love, the couples who pose and expose themselves are above all concerned to show that everything is perfect in their lives, failing to really live a sincere and harmonious relationship. Image concern, superficiality, need to show off, business? A little of all of this at the same time.

USE THE HASHTAG #COUPLEGOAL(S)

In the idea of ​​this hashtag, an ideal relationship for a #CoupleGoal would be to travel all over the world, well especially where there is sun and beaches, start a family, laugh and love each other like on the first day and reconcile in the event of a dispute. 

In fact, this hashtag just claims the idea of ​​a healthy and balanced relationship as all love stories should be. With the difference that the couples who use and abuse it feel the need to demonstrate their so-called perfect love.

Or, just to be positive, we can think that this need to claim is on the contrary a response to all these couples who come together and come apart in a click , to love which is no longer valued as much, to wear from the very idea of ​​a romantic relationship and the hackneyed fear of commitment.

It is  important that everyone can identify with examples of happy couples  so as not to develop limiting beliefs about the potential impossibility of being happy together in our societies where love seems so complicated for everyone. So, is the idea good or bad?

A FAKE SHOW OF LOVE OR A BOOST OF OPTIMISM?

And if the couples who claim #CoupleGoal(s) on social networks were in fact, for some, those who do not do it only for business or to have a community, a way of saying that love is not corny  ? What to think that the couple goals blows a wind of optimism.

So if you have to take it and leave it, the couples who appear like this without abusing retouched photos are perhaps the new emissaries of true love .

With #CoupleGoal(s), we must therefore distinguish couples who convey a pseudo-perfect and overplayed image, who are in the representation of themselves, to those who make fun of not being perfect precisely in their photos but who on the other hand really build a sincere and healthy relationship.

Because the couple goal(s), if we take it in the first sense of the expression, says yes to love but above all to the work that love requires. A happy couple is a couple that talks to each other, respects each other and moves forward hand in hand , against winds and tides.

HASHTAG #COUPLEGOAL: FAKE COUPLE GOALS?

Keep in mind that superficial #CoupleGoal criteria are not couple goals. Indeed, in a romantic relationship, the goal is to love and be loved, to share real moments and to grow together in respect. Couple goals, what are they? The couple goals, or the objectives of a relationship, consist in transforming possible negative points, in working hand in hand with one’s partner to become a harmonious, happy and fulfilled couple.

Among them, here are 8 real couple goals that allow you to put all the chances on your side to live a real and beautiful love story:

1. Make your romantic relationship a priority
2. Always be there for each other
3. But remember to take time for yourself
4. Learn to communicate well
5. Maintain the flame of desire
6. To respect each other
7. Make couple plans
8. Not worrying about others
