without years of counselling, silly quick-fix gimmicks, or endless relationship theories that don't give you the tools that actually work
Wrong.
Because no-one ever shows us HOW to create love that lasts a lifetime. So we stumble through... "hoping" this time we will get it right.
And for some, that's enough.
But you are different. You want great love and passion.
And you are looking for answers to the question "What's stopping my partner and I from feeling way more excited about each other?"
When you woke up this morning, did you gaze at your sweetie with a smile? Did your partner kiss you, snuggle, and then make you breakfast? Did you talk deeply about hopes, dreams, and the simple plans for your day?
Great couples connect, they talk, they share. And they love to hang out with each other. All this predicts relationship success and happiness.
I know, right? Scheduling sex? Really? Yes. Really. Here's the thing. The early falling-in-love biochemistry is fantastic. Lust, hormones, and neurochemistry - you couldn't keep your hands off each other. And it was SO great, wasn't it? But the biochemistry of long term love is different.
Great couples prioritize their sexual life, instead of assuming it will take care of itself. They cultivate "Responsive Desire" - something you and your sweetie need to learn.
How you manage conflict is a major predictor of relationship well-being. Maybe you disagree a lot or a little, calmly or with a lotta yelling. That doesn't predict divorce. It's HOW you fight that matters - certain nasty arguing styles create major damage.
Great couples learn to fight fair - even about the hot topics - and to repair, forgive, and begin again.
Did you know that doing something adventurous - mountain biking, karaoke, pole dancing - puts you in a heightened state from which your partner seems more attractive? Yup. Science proves it.
Great couples surprise each other and take some risks. When is the last time you did something really fun and out-of-the-box together? Would you like to? Well, let me help you make a plan and take action.
Let's get real. Everything you do well - your work, your hobby, your sport, your workouts - took effort, training, and the commitment to improve. And yet so many couples expect their love life to somehow take care of itself. And then they are puzzled that the thrill is gone and they are bored with their mate.
But not the great couples. They put in the effort. They learn how to give a great foot rub, they plan surprise dates, and they study everything from talking kindly to tantric orgasms. They are not "lucky". Great couples are just like YOU - with some skills and tools.
From "I want a Divorce" to Happy & Connected - Howard and Karen talk about how the Become Passion program saved their marriage
If this sounds interesting to you, keep reading...
Maybe you realize that you both show more interest and kindness toward the kids (or the dog) than you do each other. Even if you are committed, sometimes you secretly long for the passion & thrill of a new love affair. And though it pains you to admit you might be bored with your partner, or bored with your sex life - it's true. No, you don't want to leave the relationship...but as you lay there, you sometimes think "Is this it? Is this how long-term love is supposed to be?"
Why? Well, most couples don't create lifelong love and passion because they Don't Know How. Without understanding the predictors of happiness + passion, and learning the scientifically-based tools and techniques that lead to emotional, sexual & romantic happiness, they wander blind.
The majority of divorces (and miserable marriages) could be avoided - if the couple knew how to cultivate the love & passion they used to have. You may think you'll be happier with a new mate - but newsflash! Second marriages have a higher divorce rate than first marriages...
Even if you're reading this and thinking "I'm content with my partner" - once you learn and practice the 3 Keys to Passion you can go from fine to fantastic. And - most importantly - you can stay in love (and lust) over the long haul.
"We tried so many counsellors - nothing helped. Dr. Cheryl is direct, gives real tools. Do it - it's so worth it" -Rose & James

Busy lives, 4 kids - BP helped us put each other first. "What won't I do to make my life better with my wife?" - Julien & Sarah
Lifelong, sustainable passion is absolutely possible. But it's not an accident. You need to Become Passion, not wait around for passion to spontaneously appear. This week focuses on teaching you the three building blocks of a great relationship - The Passion Triangle - And how you currently rate on each one.
Lesson Highlights:
Emotional Intimacy is the foundation of the Passion Triangle, and of a great relationship. And communication builds intimacy. This week you will learn the tools to ensure you never have a pointless, damaging argument ever again. Why? Because research shows great couples manage conflict skillfully. Sure, you will argue, but it is HOW you argue that predicts happiness or divorce. (And let's face it, fighting is terrible foreplay).
Lesson Highlights
This week, you will learn to stop longing for the perfect partner. It's not a surprise, unrealistic expectations wreak relationship havoc. No flesh-and-blood human can live up to the person in your head!
Great couples understand that your partner is not responsible for making you happy (yup!- that means you are off the hook for making your sweetie happy, too.) This week you will also practice some deep connection rituals involving words and touch. (After all, when is the last time you snuggled naked, or held hands while you walked the dog?)
Lesson Highlights:
Even great couples mess up sometimes. But they know how to repair. Past hurts can really get in the way of trust, connection, and love. This week, you will focus on creating unshakeable commitment - No Matter What. Clear up past hurts, take out the emotional baggage, and begin again, together, in this moment.
Lesson Highlights:
The most ridiculous love myth is that the thrill can't last forever. That's some Monty Python level of nonsense! Sure, most couples lose that loving feeling - but that's because they don't know how to cultivate thrill. Remember, passion is a teachable skill.
Imagine you meet an attractive colleague who makes it clear they find you interesting and attractive. It feels great when someone is truly interested in us, right? Uh huh. It's also the #1 cause of affairs. This week, you will learn to recreate curiosity and excitement with your sweetie so YOU are the one to make them feel special. Then you can fall in love again, with the one you are already with.
Lesson Highlights:
What makes you a fantastic lover? This week, you will learn how to make sex your hobby, and to expand your sexual repertoire. Of course, in order to be a great lover, you need some basic facts.
You'll hear about the orgasms and the sexual response cycle. And you will explore what actually turns you on...and learn what turns your partner on, and what they would like to try. You may be surprised.
Lesson Highlights:
What gets in the way of your sex drive? This week you will explore the difference between arousal and desire. You'll also begin to solve the most common sexual problem - you want sex, they don't. I'll teach you how to Never Say "I'm not in the mood" ever again. (PS - you are NORMAL. The majority of long-term couples do not feel spontaneous desire.) The good news? You can learn how to turn yourself, and your lover, on...even when you are tired or the taxes are due. You will learn when sexual fantasy helps your sex life, and when it hinders. And much more.
Lesson Highlights:
Now it's time to create a powerful, passionate, loving sexuality that lasts. How can you expand your sensual spectrum from gentle, sweet love making to spicy hot sex and back again? How can you explore the taboos that entice you? Add some toys and techniques to your sensual life and play with all aspects of your sexual being. Teach each other how to become awakened lovers.
Lesson Highlights:
Online courses - like the Become Passion Program course curriculum - are a fantastic way to teach. But research shows you are WAY more likely to succeed if you have support and accountability. Remember, I have 23 years of experience helping couples succeed. I no longer work with couples 1:1 because I can help you more deeply by combining a detailed course curriculum with personal group coaching - and for a much smaller cost. This way I can help many more couples - and that's my mission.
So I will be with you LIVE every second week for twelve weeks. I'm going to be there to support you and help you meet your relationship goals.
In each live coaching call, I'll also be teaching additional content tailored to the hot-button topics I see coming up for you.
I'll also leave plenty of time for Q&A - so I can help you with your unique problems and direct you to the best tools and support.
That's 10 hours of group coaching with me. And I so look forward to it.
In these Bonus Classes I interview my esteemed colleague in the field of Gottman couples therapy.You'll learn specific tools & skills to help you become an extraordinary couple.
The Topics are:

From struggling with aging sexuality to "after Become Passion we could not be happier" - Steve & Karen
Let me give it you you straight, my dear reader.
I know that couples who learn the Become Passion techniques and who do the work will improve their communication, re-spark fun, and create a more satisfying sexual life.
I also know this can feel like a big commitment. So I am offering you a 30-day money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied that the Become Passion Program can help you define your relationship goals, manage conflict better, and teach you how you can improve your romantic and sensual life, I will refund your investment.
But change doesn't happen if you don't make effort! So, if within 30 days from the start of the Become Passion program you can demonstrate to me that you've done the recommended work (by sending me your completed worksheets and a video or other proof you've of used the communication exercises and attending at least two lvie classes) - and you tell me that the Become Passion program is not benefiting your relationship - your refund will be granted. With a smile.
Oooh I'm happy you asked.
I love to reward couples who take action. So, when you pay in full you get the entire Become Passion program PLUS I'll mail you a signed copy of my book Buddha's Bedroom PLUS you will get exclusive access to my Masterclass on Tantric Sexuality.
This 90 minute class - Tantric Lovemaking - Your Path to Erotic Bliss will be released to only those couples who pay in full.
Plus I am gifting ALL of you a free ticket to my Advanced Online half day Couples Workshop in January 2025! This is hosted by me and my husband ❤️
Why yes I am Canadian. My sweetheart and I (and two dogs & three cats) live on beautiful Vancouver Island.
The price of the Become Passion program is charged at $1495 USD.
I charge in US currency because I have an international audience and because I pay for all of my technology and course support in US dollars.
Fellow Canadians - I know we dislike exchange rates. The original price I set for the program in Feb 2020 is $2,100 CAN. I've translated that to $1495 USD at current exchange rates in October 2024. The program will therefore cost you approximately $2000-2100 CAN on your credit card, depending on your own bank rates.
And to help us ice hockey loving folks out even more, I will pay your GST.
Also - for CANADIANS ONLY - you may be able to use your third party medical insurance to get reimbursed for the course cost. This will be determined by your own insurer but several companies covered Become Passion the last few times I ran it - including Blue Cross, Canada Life, Manulife, and others.

This is a couples program. So when you join, both you and your partner have full access to the course. You can watch all the content together, or separately, or some of both. And remember, you get lifetime access to ALL the classes, recorded Live Q&A's with me, and bonus classes with other experts so you can return to the program for years to come.
Good question!
By training, I am a Clinical Psychologist and Sex Therapist. I've worked with couples in private practice for twenty three years - as well as giving love advice on TV, podcasts and radio, writing magazine columns on love and sex, and teaching internationally for Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield and others. I know that sex is not separate from the whole of your relationship!
Become Passion is not a program that focuses just on the sexual part of your life. The foundational training is the Passion Triangle - the 3 Keys to Passion. As you see in the descriptions of the weekly content, you will learn about Emotional Intimacy - how to handle difficult conversations, how to fight fair, what to do when you feel disconnected and lonely, and much more. This is what some researchers call "Relationship Friendship" - and it strongly predicts how happy you are. You will also cultivate Thrill - reviving the interest, excitement, and playfulness you had when you were dating. Sensuality - your erotic and sexual life - is the third part of the Passion Triangle.
Look, extraordinary relationships are about as common as a saxaphone-playing unicorn. BUT THEY DO EXIST. And those couples have mastered the keys to passion. The Become Passion program is designed to give you the roadmap, the knowledge, and the skills to help you to create great love, communication, friendship, and fun, as well as great sex.
It's the whole package.
In a word, yes. I've worked with many couples in therapy, and while I love the in-person model, it is an expensive, time consuming and logistically difficult process for many couples.
Think about it. You have to coordinate three schedules - you, your spouse, and the therapist - pay for a baby sitter, drive, park, and then pay $300-$500 for each therapy session. And much of what you will learn in therapy can be taught in a course.
With the Become Passion program you choose a time or two that works for you each week, settle on the couch, and watch the Become Passion lessons. You commit to doing the exercises. And together you discover the keys to passion and build your tool box.
The Become Passion course is not psychotherapy. It is education, advice, and training that fit into your life and provide you actionable tools for real change.
And don't worry - I'm going to be there to support you and help you meet your Passion goals. In the 10 hours of bi-weekly coaching sessions, you can ask specific questions about your own relationship. That's 10 Bonus hours of special coaching with me...
FOR FREE.
What's more, you will get special bonus classes on topics including Mindful Sex, the Differences between Men and Women, Female Sexual Desire, The keys to a great marriage, and the predictors of divorce - and so much more - with my colleagues - leading experts in their fields - sex therapists, psychologists, couples therapists and researchers - to supplement the Become Passion content and bring even more tools and techniques to your love affair.
No way! When you purchase Become Passion - Create Love that Lasts a Lifetime - you receive LIFETIME access to the course lessons, bonuses, and extra content.
What does that mean?
The course is delivered online. You have a unique password to log in. After the course ends - Ten weeks of content, coaching calls, and bonus teaching - all the material is available to you for as long as I run that business (likely many years - hopefully until every couple on the planet is happy, passionate, sexy, and in love!)
If you miss a live coaching call or want to watch it again, no worries -all calls will be recorded and archived in your course platform.
If you cannot attend a coaching call live, you can submit your questions ahead of time and I will answer it during the Q & A - which you can watch when your schedule allows!
Some couples will want to work through the program together once, then go back once a year for a refresher.
I'm here to help, and I've got your back!
If I had a dime for every time I've heard a couple say this...I'd be driving James Bond's Aston Martin. :)
But hey, in all seriousness, be kind to yourself. Most of us get overwhelmed by the demands of work, parenting, and life and end up in "Marriage Inc." - running the business of our family but NOT cultivating our love life. It is bound to happen sometimes.
But...
Great relationships are not an accident. If you want something enough, you carve out time. And you clearly want a great relationship - or you wouldn't have read this far.
Become Passion is taught in weekly modules. For 8 of the 12 weeks, new content is released. On those weeks there are 3-5 video lessons. You can watch them all at once - approximately 60 minutes of content a week - or watch each 10-20 minute lesson on it's own. There are 3 implementation weeks - no new content released - to give you time to work through the current content before more is introduced.
All you need is an intention - "I want to Cultivate Love that Lasts a Lifetime" - and an internet connection and boom - you are on the way.
And if you fall a bit behind, remember you get lifetime access to the program. You can watch and re-watch. So even when life gets in the way, you will have your Passion Roadmap waiting for you.
The juicy part of the Become Passion program that might just be the MOST helpful is the series of live bi-weekly group coaching sessions with me over the full twelve weeks of the program. I'll be live on camera for these calls, and you will be able to ask your questions. Every week, I will teach extra content - for example, some probable topics are
In the ten hours of bi-weekly coaching sessions, you can ask specific questions about your own relationship.
That's 10 hours of special group coaching with me
INCLUDED.
(To give you an idea of the value, I take only five couples a year as VIP private coaching clients - and they pay $1000 an hour)
And don't worry about your privacy - I use a platform that only shows me on the video. You will engage in the chat box but you will never be on camera. Plus, you can submit your questions to me ahead of time. Confidentiality is assured.
You will get a series of Bonus Classes with Industry Experts. I have specifically selected topics that augment and support the core Become Passion course curriculum and bring you some extra tools and techniques.
Topics include
I'm delighted and honored that my friends and colleagues have offered their time and expertise to the Become Passion curriculum. Honestly, their knowledge and tools alone are a huge benefit to your relationship.
When your love relationship isn't thriving, it hurts. What's more, research shows us that the strength of our love relationship predicts our overall happiness better than any other factor.
Don't take your partner for granted. Even the best couples can lose their connection when the demands of life take over.
Great Love and Passion are possible. But they take effort. Whether the Become Passion couples program feels right for you - please take action today in some manner to Make Love Matter.
Buy a couples book a - Buddha's Bedroom is a good one! - and work through it. If needed, call a marriage therapist. Surprise your beloved with a weekend getaway. Lick chocolate off their knees.
The Become Passion program is one method to help you and your partner bring your love affair front and center. Each week is like a series of Gym Classes for your Passionate life. In my opinion, it's a fantastic way to get support to help you create the change you want. (After all, it's the sum total of what I've learned over a career dedicated to finding the secrets to long lasting love and passion)
So I invite you to grab your shoes and head to the Love Gym - join me in Become Passion.
