IMO you do not. I know many people "doing pretty well in life" who are opportunistic rather than goal-driven, and having goals for your partner/family/relationships sounds to me like a recipe for disaster
In regards to the first part of your post, being opportunistic and goal-driven are not necessarily opposites. A person who is both has a plan that they follow by default, but the flexibility to turn on a dime if a better choice opens up.
The second part I partially agree with. But establishing a routine like meeting some friend every Thursday evening, that can be good.
