Many committed couples ask me “Is romance, real romance, still possible?” Happily, I am able to tell them “Yes!” And…it can even get better.
For more than 20 years, Sheryll & I have lived real romance every day.

Two Strong Individuals Living in Committed Partnership Can Keep Romance Alive
Outdated romantic myth suggests you need to surrender your individual self to live happily-ever-after – a myth driven by magical thinking and impossible expectations that committed partnership can never fulfill.
Is it any wonder our collective belief in the promise of romance has suffered?
But while outdated romantic myths failed to deliver, the promise of romantic destiny remains real. Studies show the #1 determining factor for happiness, health and longevity is committed relationship. Romantic partnership comes with a biologically built-in benefit.
Romance isn’t wrong – it just needs a 21st century, evidence-based reset!
We Teach You How to Create the Relationship You Desire
At Au Coeur Center, we know you need to develop skills, capacity, and wisdom to maintain a loving relationship – across time and beyond obstacles. Happiness, health, and longevity are your rewards.
In the outdated romantic myth, couples surrender their individual identities and boundaries to merge into an all encompassing shared self. This impossible trade-off results in less space to grow, love, choose, give, and thrive.
In our New Model of Relationship, two individuals maintain their separate boundaries and create a third “We” space where their relationship lives. As a result, comitted partners are able to grow as individuals and as a couple at the same time - providing ever-expanding love and greater well-being that endures.
