Undivided
Attention.
What was Betty Jo saying on that spring night when I
visited her and Bill in Little Rock? "Bill is a good provider, but he
doesn't spend any time with me. What good is the house and the
recreational vehicle and all the other things if we don't ever enjoy them
together?" What was her desire? Quality time with Bill. She wanted
his attention. She wanted him to focus on her, to give her time, to do
things with her.
By "quality time," I mean giving someone
your undivided attention. I don't mean sitting on the couch watching
television. I mean is sitting on the couch with the TV off, looking at
each other and talking, giving each other your undivided attention.
Quality time is taking a walk, just the two of you, or going out to eat
and looking at each other and talking.
For some people, Quality Time is their primary love
language, and if you don't give them Quality Time, they will not feel
loved. Shower them with gifts and they will say: "Cut the gifts, what
I want is time with you." Is it possible that your spouse's primary
love language is quality time?
