Quality time means that when we are with one another we are 100% “there,” focused on family members’ needs and happiness.  Quantity time means that we are with our families as often as we can be.  This is a challenge sometimes, but when family relationships are truly our highest priority, time needs to be given to those relationships.  There is no substitute for unhurried time with our loved ones.   

Strong families enjoy being together, and they make the effort to plan activities to be with one another.  Family time doesn’t have to be elaborate or expensive.  The simplest activities often become the most memorable.  Family time can be as simple as sharing a family joke or enjoying a favorite tradition, such as Saturday morning pancakes or a family walk on Sunday afternoons.  

Ask the following questions:

1. Are we spending our time as we wish?
2. How would we like to spend our time?
3. What is preventing us from spending our time as we want?
4. What can we change so that we can spend our time as we would like to?
