The Myth Of Quality Time

The May 1997 issue of Newsweekhad a cover story about the myth of quality time versus quantity time. Ronald Levant, a psychologist at Harvard Medical School, said, “I think quality time is just a way of deluding ourselves into shortchanging our children. Children need vast amounts of parental time and attention. It’s an illusion to think that they’re going to be on your timetable and that you can say, ‘O.K., we’ve got half an hour, let’s get on with it.’” Levant is saying that the idea that quality of time replaces quantity of time that so many boomer parents have bought into, is really a myth.

There is no real quality of time unless we have a quantity of time to be with our children during those teachable moments when they’re dealing with everyday life. Follow God’s will. Invest a quantity of your time with your children, and He’ll reward you with a quality relationship that is rich indeed.

Parenting is an overwhelming calling. We get started with no experience, and by the time we have experience, it’s often too late. So much is out of our control, and there are so many negative influences in our children’s lives.

What A Wife Most Needs From Her Husband
•
Dr. James Dobson was asked, “Why are men so insensitive to women’s needs today?”
•
He answered, “I question whether men have really changed all that much. I doubt if men ever responded as women preferred. Did the farmer of a century ago come in from the fields to say, ‘Tell me how it went with the kids today’? No. He was as oblivious to his wife’s nature then as husbands are today.”
•
So men, if you’re struggling to meet your wife’s needs, the Bible gives a few tips:
•
Physical affection. Not just sex, but a tender touch which may include a few hugs through the day.
•
Security. Physical, financial and emotional…a wife desires security in all its forms.
•
Understanding. Listening more than telling her what to do.
•
Reassurance Knowing you think she’s beautiful, in a society of constant comparison.
•
Spiritual leadership. Not dictatorship, but servant leadership, like Christ for His church.
•
These are what a wife needs most from her husband.

There is not one sin that is better or worse than the others.
From divorce to homosexuality to abortion you can approach sin with legalism or liberalism. But God is neither nor. God is just and righteous. Always. And forever.
