Available January 2026 from Penguin Random House Christian, the book will be featured with a fresh new look on screen in Amazon MGM Studios’ upcoming romantic comedy.
Michael Todd’s #1 New York Times bestseller, Relationship Goals: How to Win at Dating, Marriage, and Sex, will release as a movie tie-in edition (on sale January 6, 2026; ISBN 9798217153367) through WaterBrook, an imprint of Penguin Random House Christian. The nonfiction bestseller that inspired Amazon MGM Studios’ romantic comedy starring Kelly Rowland and Cliff “Method Man” Smith—on which Todd serves as an executive producer—will now feature the same redesigned cover seen in the new movie, inviting readers to rediscover the message that has already transformed millions of lives.
Born from a viral sermon series with more than 33 million YouTube views, Relationship Goals is authored and by Michael Todd, pastor of Transformation Church in Tulsa, Okla. Transformation Church averages nearly 1,500 in-person and 43,000 online attendees each week, and Todd’s social platforms reach more than 8.7 million followers.
“Seeing Relationship Goals come to life on the big screen is a full-circle moment for me,” said Todd. “What started as a sermon series to help people win in relationships turned into a #1 New York Times bestselling book and now a movie that shows the power of God’s original design for relationships in real life. It’s proof that it’s only crazy until it happens—and when God’s in it, it always happens bigger than you imagined.”
The book has helped millions find lasting love and sustain healthy relationships, spent 13 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and remains a beloved relationship self-help resource since its original release in 2020.
Amazon’s movie draws inspiration from the book’s message, allowing its characters to put Todd’s relationship principles into practice on screen. Through themes of purpose, healing, and oneness, the film reflects Todd’s message that aiming for the right targets in relationships can make all the difference in finding true satisfaction.
“When I first read the Relationship Goals book, I knew it had the principles and wisdom that would lend itself perfectly to be the inspiration for a film,” said producer DeVon Franklin, known for his work on Breakthrough and Miracles from Heaven.
Franklin continued, “Mike Todd’s message of ‘fixing your aim’ has proven to be transformational and provided the foundation for an entertaining and spiritually minded romantic comedy, the first of its kind! It was a true joy for me to produce this film and bring the amazing concepts in the book to life on screen, and I believe it will resonate with audiences around the world.”
Relationship Goals (Movie Tie-In) will be available everywhere books are sold starting January 6, 2026—in time for couples to refocus their romantic goals for the New Year and Valentine’s Day.
