Every time there is a family meeting, there is so much to remember and celebrate! We live hurried lives and are often between events and happenings and do not take enough time to stay in touch at the heat level.
One way we can make family gatherings meaningful is to have a structured time to share our feelings about experiences, happy and to so happy. Our feelings affect our attitude and behaviour and are often subject to our perception. When we share them, we get a collective perception to revise them from being highly subjective. We feel renewed and refreshed through such restorative conversations. The story of our life is not complete till it is verified by people who love us.
In a wife-husband relationship, what is even more important is to be passionate for each other's growth and renewal. To grow in a consciousness that my husband or wife is my immediate neighbour with whom I am in a calling to become 'one flesh' is a liberating thought and experience. This intimate companionship is reassuring and comforting.
I wish all married couples would have dedicated occasions to audit their level of intimacy with each other and create more common space for mutual nearness! All parents need to be an example and a challenge to their married children to show them the way of intimacy and self giving trust!
