From Bestseller Inspiration to Prime Video Premiere
Relationship Goals draws from Pastor Mike Todd’s New York Times bestseller of the same name, which debuted at No. 1 on Amazon and held strong for weeks.[2] The book, rooted in Todd’s sermon series on dating, marriage, and intimacy, translates into a feature film executive produced by Rowland and others.
Scheduled for streaming on Prime Video starting February 4, the movie arrives just ahead of Valentine’s Day.[4] DeVon Franklin produced the project, with a script refined by writers Michael Elliot, Cory Tynan, and Laura Lekkos.[2]
