When we treat our relationships like a recipe, it rarely works.
To bake a cake, we know what to do. We follow the recipe, cakes come out.
In close relationships, however, it’s a dance, with 2 rhythms. Yours and theirs.
The busy parent who believes in quality time, celebrates the birthday party, and attends the football tournament.
Yes, quality matters.
What trips us up is the belief that we just need to be there at the BIG moments. And we know when.
But your rhythm might not match their rhythm. The time when your child wants to share the truth about his experience at school or how the stars gave questions about living.
The moment arises, and we need to be there to catch it.
The tricky part is we don’t know when. But when it comes, those are the moments that count.
There is no way of knowing ahead, we just need to be there.
Quality matters and quantity matters too.
When we treat our relationship, like caring for our teeth, it might just work better.
