Kristen Qualls: The Role of Daily Habits — Fostering Romance and Passion in Couples | Reloscope #47

A routine of daily habits running smoothly like a well-oiled machine can be what makes or breaks a relationship. But how, and why? To answer these questions, host Marie Stella is joined by Kristen Qualls, a seasoned counselor with a passion for empowering couples on their journey towards self-discovery and emotional well-being.

Kristen’s approach to counseling is deeply rooted in understanding, respect, and the belief that healthy relationships are the key to a fulfilling life. This approach, along with her vast amount of experience, and more importantly, empathy, renders her a trusted guide for those seeking support and understanding amidst the hardest and darkest parts of their lives. 

In this episode, Marie and Kristen dig into why daily habits are so paramount to romance and passion in a relationship. They also tackle what daily habits can often look like, and how they differ from other forms of intimacy rituals. Kristen asserts that the roadblocks to achieving a smooth-sailing suite of daily habits often stem from lack of communication, and offers advice on how to remedy such a situation.

Tune in to learn more about the subtle yet formidable effect daily habits have on your relationship!
