It's hard not to think #relationshipgoals when you look at Barack and Michelle Obama. Their relationship seems to be founded on mutual respect and support, and what more can you want really?

But, Michelle Obama does not want to be your #goals. She explained why to Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show in an interview about her book Becoming, in which she reveals that she and her husband have had marriage counselling.

"There are a lot of young people who look at me and Barack [...] and think: 'oh, I want that #relationshipgoals.' But I want young people to know that marriage is work, even the best."

You're still #goals to us, tho.
