In this episode, Jason and Lauren host a conversation with their good friends, Aaron and Jenna Zint. Aside from the wisdom and street cred that come from 14 years of marriage and three little kids, Jenna and Aaron have years of professional experience in the relational health arena that make them excellent resources on the topic! Together, they offer couples coaching and host an excellent podcast called The Marriage Lab (link below). Aaron is an author and also offers emotional, relational and sexual wholeness coaching while Jenna offers health, life and habit coaching. Most recently, Jenna launched The Habit Lab Mastery Course (link below). Today’s episode of  Dates, Mates and Babies with the Vallottons is a conversation between the Vallottons and the Zints about how to sustainably grow in our relational health with the help of forming habits that lead to lasting change. Aaron and Jenna first explain that the best way to forge a healthy connection inside of our intimate relationships is by learning to engage in emotion-led communication. An often foreign skill, learning to communicate this way is best achieved through practice – the “offensively tiny” and consistent habits that, over time, will result in wildly successful change in the effectiveness of our communication. The Zints also walk through the practical steps to creating good habits as well as a few of the pitfalls people often encounter when trying to start new habits. This episode is gold, especially for the listener who has identified growth areas in their own relationships but doesn’t know where or how to begin making healthy changes.
