Luckily Your Spouse and Children Are Resilient and Will Keep Looking For Ways to Win Your Attention...even if It's Obvious They Are Not Your Number One Priority.
"Not right now honey!"
"Please! Let me get this done."
"We will get a date night eventually."
"I'll play with you as soon as I finish this."
"I don't have time right now."
Fortunately, your spouse and children are resilient and will continue to look for ways to get your attention. If you say one of these or similar phrases, you can count on the others.
With so many life demands, it's hard to find the right balance between your time. Being a good spouse, a good father, a good brother, a good neighbor, a good church member, a good community citizen, a good employee and a good friend can seem like too much of a liability. Add to that all the other things in life, taking care of yourself physically, spiritually, emotionally, cleaning your home, cooking meals and staying on top of household chores - you wonder if leaving your family is a priority.
