Have you ever wondered how to live a happy life?
My fiancee and I were discussing the joys in life the other day with our children. Although we don’t have much, we have each other. Isn’t that what the best part of life?
We spoke to one another and decided to look through old photos that I had posted a few days back. We laughed at our silly jokes, but it was a lot of fun.
A very old saying says that “the family that plays together stays together.”
My fiancee works nights and I work weekends so it’s difficult to have family time. I also work full-time online, so blogging and maintaining my website are two of my main responsibilities. I also need to make time to run my cleaning business. It’s a struggle to get my cleaning business off the ground, I have to admit.
While the kids go to school, we work full-time hours. Many of our friends have questions about how we manage to find the time. It’s both simple and complex at the same. Our family time is created in the same way that we budget for the month. It sounds silly and stupid, but it is extremely effective.
Everybody will sit down together during Sunday dinner to go through their respective schedules. Although it may seem simple on paper, life is not always easy. As we all know, there will be times when things “come up” that cause a halt to our plans.
How can we overcome this?
It is important to set aside time and days for fun activities. You might go bowling, play a game or simply walk. This is because we have already thought through the idea and created a time-table for at least three to four things. If something happens, we have plenty of other things to do.
The bottom line is that we still have the opportunity to spend quality time together.
Sometimes we don’t get to do what we want, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be disappointed. We still have a lot of fun regardless. There are many families I know that don’t get to spend enough time together. That is just plain stupid. You need to find a way to make time for a few hours each day.
You can have all the money the world wants, and you can be in the best health. But if there is no one to share it with, what’s the point?
It’s possible to do a little trick by watching the TV show “Til Debt Do Us Part”. This is because the television show has a segment where couples/families are rescued from their relationship. This is a wonderful exercise for everyone. Try to meet with your partner and children to create a family budget for the week.
Although you may not be able to do a lot, even an hour is still a lot. You can show your love and care for each other by showing that you are there for each other. Interestingly, stress disappears and some issues are less important. Your family life will improve.
