Gabrielle Union is getting real about titles such as relationship and couple goals being thrown at her and her husband, Dwyane Wade. In an interview with Ebony magazine, she emphasised the importance of being in relationships that were beyond what they see on social media.

“Stop listening to people who have failed miserably at relationships as they offer relationship advice; that’s the first thing. Second, my “perfect” relationship isn’t the next person’s. Stop comparing your life, your love and your marriage. Everyone [doesn’t] have to match for it to be real, amazing and beautiful. It only needs to be [those three things] to you. Don’t try to have a relationship for the sake of other people because you’re going to be empty inside.
Your relationship won’t have any substance because it’s all about show and not a deeper foundation. Whatever that is or however that looks to you, there should be peace, grace and joy with anything you do, whether that’s a relationship, business, friendship or hobbies. Make sure that it brings you peace, that it allows you to have grace and that it brings you a ton of joy. How that takes shape, what it looks like, whom you chose, [is up to you]” she continued.
What do you think about what she had to say?
