Relationship Challenge: Quality Time

It's probably been about a months since my husband and I had an evening meal together alone or even a date. His comment was, "We are long overdue."  It's proven by many relationship experts that couples need to take time for each other to reconnect and communicate. Even if you are single you need to spend some time with those close to you connecting one on one.

Sometimes due to timing or finances,  your date may mean staying up a late and doing popcorn and a movie once the kids have gone to bed-or for single people it may look more like a pot of coffee and a Little Debbie Snack Cake. It's not really about what you do it's about the time you spend together.

Today's Challenge: Be intentional and plan some time with your spouse if you are married. Single--seek out that close friend you haven't make talk time for and plan some time to catch up. Reconnect! It's worth the investment.

Challenge Issued!

“Quality time does not mean we must spend our moments gazing into each other's eyes. It may mean doing something together that we both enjoy. The particular activity is secondary, only a means to creating the sense of togetherness. The important thing is not the activity itself but the emotions that are created between both.”
