Mark Groves is the founder of Create The Love. His own rock bottom – a relationship ending – sparked his lifelong journey to turn his mess into his message. Today, Mark is a human connection specialist, speaker, writer, motivator, creator, connector and collaborator. All. The. Things. As a bridge between the academic and the human, Mark invites people to explore the good, bad, downright ugly, and beautiful sides of connection.
As he puts it: “My brain and heart are home to a lot of relationship nerding-out. Here’s the deepest truth I (currently) know: I’m not here to eff around on this planet during this lifetime. I don’t want to ‘kinda’ do things. I am here to rock the boat. I’m here to share my truth.”
Mark’s purpose? Empowering individuals to step into their power, transform the way they relate to themselves and others, and create authentic change – for a life + love they’ll look back on with a resounding “f*ck yes.”

the one education that everyone should have.
To make relational education accessible to
At Create The Love, we believe relationships are at the heart of every meaningful aspect of life. Whether with a partner, family, friends, colleagues, or even yourself, understanding how to build and nurture healthy connections can transform your well-being and happiness.
Yet, too often, we aren't taught the skills needed to thrive in our relationships. This leaves many of us navigating connection, communication, and conflict on our own. That's why we're passionate about making relational wellness accessible to everyone—because these skills shouldn't be a luxury; they’re essential.
Through resources, guidance, and practical tools, we aim to empower you with the knowledge to grow and sustain fulfilling relationships. Together, let's create a world where everyone has the opportunity to love, connect, and thrive.
The dream?
everyone.
this is precisely why we created OUR COURSE SUITE
