This episode is brought to you by Blueland, Fatty15, and Ollie. When it comes to happiness in relationships, we often overlook the daily effort and tools needed for true intimacy. Instead, we focus on the romanticized end result, without fully understanding what it takes to create lasting success. Today’s guest is here to dispel common myths and share the key questions and practical tools that can help us build stronger, happier relationships. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with his good friend and author Lindsay Roth to explore the key ingredients of strong, lasting relationships. Lindsay shares the journey that led her to write a book on relationships, the top things that destroy them, and the simple yet powerful questions you can ask to strengthen your connection with your partner. She also explains how rituals and routines can deepen intimacy and why scheduling intimacy can actually relieve stress and pressure in a relationship. Dhru also reflects on the lessons he's learned about maintaining open communication and vulnerability in his own relationship.
