It has been said that family members should eat together at mealtime. Although it may seem like mere advice, eating together is very important, especially in family life. It is a precious time to nurture family ties. If you want to recognize that, let’s take a look at how to use mealtime to warm up family relationships …
The first thing to do to keep family relationships warm is to avoid the dining table from the clutter of social media. Many people usually eat with a mobile phone. This is a habit that can be avoided. Instead of talking on the phone, you can talk to your family and share food. Then communication and mutual trust between family members will increase. Through that, the warmth of love will increase among the family members.
The next thing to note is to respect the person who made the food and thank God for making the situation possible. You can conduct a short prayer that comes together at the dinner table. It is okay even if it is a silent prayer. By doing so, we are honoring God. And we will respect our mothers/wives. You can avoid rumors and annoyances such as ‘No curry at the table, no taste in food’. Instead, you can appreciate if you have made curries that you like and eat it patiently if there are any shortcomings.
Another is to make sure the meal is together. Each dining table presents an opportunity for everyone in the family to get together. It may not always be possible. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. This habit can be made a routine when all the family members are at home. Then take the time to slowly sit down and eat and everyone will get up together and grow together.
