Little known fact: I took the photos that we use in our programs (I was a photographer for years) and this particular photo is one of my absolute favorites. Love has been my muse for years. Now my mission is create more if it. - Max

Part 1: Co-Creation & Vision
Most people never pause to ask:
👉 What is this relationship actually FOR?
We begin by helping you and/or your partner define the purpose of your relationship—whether it’s raising a family, enjoying life after kids, or creating a next-level chapter in midlife.
You’ll dream into the highest possibility of what love could feel like—and actually design the kind of connection you want to experience day in and day out.
💡 Because when you don’t know the vision, you can’t choose in alignment with it.
Part 2: Needs, Wants & Desires
If you can’t name what you need… you’ll never receive it.
Here, we get radically honest and crystal clear on:
What you need to feel loved, safe, and supported
What you want to experience in intimacy and daily connection
What you desire when you let yourself fully dream into the most nourishing relationship possible
This section invites you to stop settling for “good enough”—and claim what your heart actually longs for.
Part 3: Communication & Conflict Resolution
Every relationship will face emotional storms.
The difference is: Do you know how to navigate them—together?
We’ll teach you an easy-to-integrate framework to resolve conflict without defensiveness, emotional shutdown, or walking on eggshells.
You’ll learn how to:
Break the cycle of reactive habits and emotional loops
Speak and listen in a way that brings you back to connection
Turn conflict into clarity, intimacy, and renewed trust
✅ This alone can change everything.
Part 4: The Empowered Way to Do Relationship
Great relationships aren’t built on autopilot—they’re built on ownership, leadership, and intentional design.
In this final phase of the program, we move beyond emotional reactivity and into radical responsibility—where you stop outsourcing your experience and start actively co-creating the kind of love you want to live in.
You’ll learn how to:
Show up with full emotional responsibility
Take ownership of your patterns and impact
Stay aligned with your shared vision—even when life gets messy
Step into conscious leadership and empowered co-creation
Create clear agreements and supportive structure that keeps love thriving
Understand healthy masculine and feminine stewardship in action
Implement weekly practices that keep your relationship tuned, alive, and sustainable
This is where your relationship stops being something that “just happens”…
and becomes something you actively choose, lead, and love into being.
Because love isn’t passive.
It’s a daily practice.
And empowered love is the kind that lasts.
Your future is calling. Will you answer?
