Leon Scott Baxter’s Mission

Leon is neither a therapist nor a psychologist. He never set out to counsel couples and individuals on love and romance.

Leon Scott Baxter is a man who believes in love, who has believed in love from an early age, and who will always believe in love. He’s been able to distinguish the differences between love and romance in himself and has allowed others to feel comfortable talking about their feelings on the subject.

Baxter has always used his creativity and his ability to read his partner to make her feel special and cared for. He listened to women. He watched their body language and asked them questions. In turn, he began to learn what made him feel loved and cared for, which led to his study of men’s need for romance.

Over the years Leon had been asked to write books, hold seminars or talk with “my girlfriend/ husband/ fiance, etc…”in the hopes of creating more romantics in the world.

After so much coaxing, Leon realized he had a calling he had to answer. And, he realized his mission.

“In the 30′s and 40′s, the divorce rate in America,” Baxter says, “was exponentially lower than it is today. But that doesn’t mean couples were any happier. Marriages got stale then, too. It was just a time when divorce was less of an option, less acceptable.”

Baxter explains that the divorce rate is higher today and people are getting married and remarried about as often as people sell their old car and buy a new one. “Divorce is a way of life today.”

Leon Scott Baxter’s mission is to change the way of life. He doesn’t propose we go back to the ways of our parents and grandparents and just live in unhappy relationships. He doesn’t want us to continue to divorce each other as easily as we change our orders at McDonald’s. Baxter wants us to stay together, to stay in love, to stay committed because we can’t imagine being with anyone else.

The way to do that is by keeping love alive, keeping relationships strong, and keeping romance as an integral part of our commitments, at any age and any degree of relationship. Leon Scott Baxter wants to allow couples to always remember why they fell in love, how to keep that spark burning, and to commit themselves to love and each other.
