I like observing people especially couples during their mealtimes, there's so much to learn from anyone that comes my way. No, I don't intrude in their private lives nor their conversations but I observe their body language, their body signals which I believe is the best gauge of the current situation.
What I'm sharing here is very straightforward. I am a firm believer of taking that additional time of spending that quality moment with my other half. We've been so used to watching TV programmes where the man just reads the newspaper during mealtimes as if oblivious of their partners sitting with them (I'm guilty of that sometimes) when at that table, the most intimate of sharing's can take place regardless of whether it's the happenings of the day, the wishes, hurts etc.
In every relationship, communication is essential. Sure some people may have other ways of doing it. In my work, I feel the best way to get into my customer's world is via a drink (not necessarily beer) or a simple meal. So if I can bring this to my relationship, I'm sure it's OK right to get into my spouse's world. It's more than OK, it's a must!
Sure all of us are busy in our own world, but that quality time communicating and looking into the eye of your spouse during a meal will be something worthwhile and have that lasting effect in this journey. In this 'instant gratifying' world, these quality time & moments is what you'll treasure in your relationship. Try it.
