Why do so many relationships start with passion and fade into comfort or complacency over time? The answer lies in a powerful psychological phenomenon called hedonic adaptation: our brain’s tendency to get used to what once excited us.

In From Hedonic Adaptation to Lasting Connection, Chris Cambas, MA, LMFT, explores how couples can overcome this natural drift and keep their bond vibrant, satisfying, and emotionally rich for decades.

This 90-minute live webinar blends neuroscience, attachment theory, and practical relationship science to help both couples and clinicians understand how to reawaken appreciation, rekindle curiosity, and sustain emotional and sexual connection long after the honeymoon phase fades.

Because love doesn’t die from boredom, it fades from inattention

About the Presenter

Chris Cambas, MA, LMFT, is a Certified Gottman Therapist, co-founder of CoupleStrong and National Marriage Seminars of America, and one of the nation’s leading voices in relationship education and clinical training. With over 20 years of experience helping couples reignite love and connection, Chris combines neuroscience, attachment science, and practical application to make lasting change accessible to everyone. He teaches that love is not a static feeling — it’s an evolving discipline of curiosity, gratitude, and shared meaning.

Through his clear, compassionate, and deeply insightful approach, Chris helps couples and clinicians rediscover what makes long-term love truly alive.

Why This Webinar Matters

All relationships face the pull of familiarity — the slow fading of excitement as life becomes routine.

But the happiest couples learn to use hedonic adaptation not as a curse, but as a cue: a reminder to reawaken appreciation, notice beauty, and nurture connection with intention.

In this session, you’ll discover how to:

  • Understand the science behind fading passion — and how to reverse it.
  • Replace complacency with curiosity and appreciation.
  • Create relational habits that make love feel new again.

Because great love doesn’t depend on luck or chemistry — it thrives when couples learn how to stay awake to each other.
