RE: Love & Marriage 69 - The Kitchen - Practical togetherness
well written. Yes I get the practicality of the kitchen in reference to marriage. I also remember how the kitchen table was a area where communication and resolving family matters happen. unfortunately in America the family does not gather round the table much anymore. With people working and school activities it is more challenging. Good analogy. Thanks.
Yes, Troy that was wonderful times, sitting around a kitchen table. Even in my household we only sit around the table at special occasions as most of the other family members don't want to miss their regular "soapies". But you got me thinking now. If I serve dinner earlier or later maybe we can eat around the table again. Precious family time goes to waste by eating in front of the TV. At least we still say grace. The Tv's gets muted for the few seconds. Thank you for commenting.
When you eat in from of the TV you look at the TV. When you eat at the kitchen table, you look at each other. Eye contact is important. Thanks.
