Topic Description

Romance is everywhere in our culture and has swept humans off their feet for a hundreds of years as is evidenced by countless poems written by lovestruck poets, romance novels, and reality television shows like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Whether pining for love in the pages of a diary or trying to find a soul mate from a cast of suitors, love and romance can seem to take us over at times.

We see it depicted in movies, social media, television shows and advertisements. We hear it in music. We read about it in literature, fortune cookies and astrology. We even see romance in sports, when one partner proposes to another on the big screen.

In this training session we take a diverse look at the different types of romantic relationships, the ups that we experience in these relationships as well as the downs of romantic relationships as well ways to have an intentional connection with our loved ones and look at what research says works in romance and the people we go on these journeys with.
