Why is dinner so important?

Why is dinner so important? I thought breakfast was the most important meal. I have been asked this question many times. Breakfast is very important. You need the energy to get through the day. I have a story to share with you in hopes the answer will become more clear to many of you.

A friend came to me one day telling me his brother's wife left him. They had been been together for 12 yrs but unhappy for about 4 yrs. He was a very busy man. He worked hard to provide for his family and liked to spend time with his hobbies. After working all day he enjoyed hanging out and having a beer or two with his friends before going home. He never saw a problem with this because he was not out cheating or with other women at all. His wife on the other hand wanted him home with her and their child. She felt like she was a lone and not important to him at all.

Can this marriage be saved? Probably, but first both people need to listen and understand the others thoughts and feelings and together make some changes. Will this happen? Probably not. At this time both have just given up and have no clue what to do but divorce. Both are subborn, angry and hurt.

People get so busy with work, running kids to their activities, shopping, going to the gym and other hobbies that they neglect the most important thing, their marriage. Relationships take work, they can not be neglected anymore than your children should be neglected.

Everyone needs to eat, right? Every relationship needs to be fed too. So how do you feed both with everything else going on? Dinner. When the family sits down to dinner that is spending time together. In some countries dinner can last for 2 hours. The family enjoys their food and their family. They communicate. Feed your relationship with lots of love, hugs, kisses, communication and a very tasty dinner. Take your time. Enjoy your food and your family.
