It’s Family Time!
January 7th, 2006 (Loving Relationships)
In today’s day and age living the “on the go” lifestyle has caused a huge dent in the closeness of the family structure. And it’s no wonder. Between the economy causing Fathers to have to work two jobs and the Moms with their careers, it is easy to see how families are getting less and less time to bond.
Regardless of your circumstances, if you want to be closer to your family and on such little time, then you must make the effort. With work, house care, and outside interferences, you cannot expect the family base to stay strong unless you make the time for your loved ones.
Outside of making and honoring the basic marriage covenant, I have come to feel that probably no single structure will help you prioritize your family more than a specified time set aside for everyone to be together each week. This is called “family time” or “family hour”, etc.
Whatever you want to call it, having family time can be a perfect time to keep the family structure strong while maintaining a busy lifestyle. The main purpose is to have one time during the week that is completely focused on being a family.
