"What would I actually do if I spent more time with my wife and kids? What does that look like?"
\n"I went on a getaway with my husband and I was bored. I couldn't wait to get back to the kids."
\n"I've been going on more dates with my husband (because of the 28-Day Challenge) but we're not enjoying them. He doesn't like to do what I do, and I don't like doing what he does."
\n"My husband and I went away and it was amazing, but I hated returning to the kids who just fight and quarrel every day."
\n"I waited so long to become a mom and then it finally happened. But now I'm not enjoying it."
\nWe've heard questions like these -- and more -- over the past several weeks.
\nPeople understand -- intellectually or philosophically -- that spending time with family is important.
\nBut emotionally, they don't always enjoy it. Or it feels like a chore -- or sometimes even torture.
\nThey would rather be doing something -- anything -- else, by themselves, with friends, at work.
\nThey can't stand the 'unproductivity' of sitting around, playing games, watching movies, or having to do an activity they do NOT want to do.
\nBut is this what 'spending time with family' really has to be like?
\nIs there a better way?
\nA way that makes you TRULY WANT to spend time together -- even 24/7/365 (like our family does)?
\nIn this episode, we outline intentional strategies we've used to create a family culture where we actually LOVE spending time together doing things that we LOVE doing.
\nThere's no torture or pain or wishing we could get away.
\nInstead, there's true enjoyment and delight in being with one another, day after day, week after week.
\nLet us show you how to make this a reality in YOUR family.
\nListen now.
