SUB: Exercise #103/yourname
A friend of mine once complained to me that her husband never spent any quality time with her. I asked her what she thought quality time was, and her answer was not a surprise: reading, movies, dinner out. Then I asked her what her husband’s idea of quality time was. She paused and then said, “I don’t know.”
How can you enjoy quality time with your spouse when you don’t know what they enjoy? Relationships are sometimes about compromise: tonight might be his night for quality time. It’s important that we know what quality time is, both for us and for the important people in our lives.
