Developing healthy, lifelong connections is something that Mark Groves knows all about: He equips individuals with the skills they need to strengthen their relationships through his online membership community, Create the Love. Companies also hire him to help their teams work better together and maintain healthy work ties.

"I was 27 and I started studying relationships. I thought, 'Why is no one teaching us this?' Everything I would learn, I would just think to myself, 'Why wasn't there a class?'" Groves says.

He began writing about the complexities of relationships — including his personal ones. He studied positive psychology and eventually began training others to establish their own healthy connections.

"The most amazing thing I learned over all this time is that anyone can have exceptional relationships, that they're something you create. They're not done by luck," Groves says.

"We are an active participant in every relationship in our lives, which means that we could take 100% responsibility for our side of things.”

In an article he wrote for his Substack in 2023, Groves shared recommendations for how you can form healthy relationships. Here’s what he suggests:

  • Take stock of what you do, or tolerate from others, that hurts you or other people
  • Process the feelings that arise from facing how you've shown up in relationships
  • Alchemize the emotions like fear or hurt and use them for growth

"Great relationships are created,” Groves says. “And everyone can learn the skill set to create exceptional relationships.”
