Relationship Grit Quotes

“One of the best things we ever did, and I wish we did it earlier in our marriage, was to have a weekly team meeting. We started these meetings when the kids were probably 11 and 13 and they usually took place on a Sunday. I can still hear the groans when we would say, “Family meeting.” Everyone had to put down their phone or stop what they were doing. Yes, sometimes that groan was from me. It was usually a rough start but always ended up being productive. We would sit around the table and talk about our family mission statement and our weekly accomplishments and failures. We would discuss our challenges and offer solutions. We found out so many things our kids were going through and things that were on their minds that we would never have discovered without these meetings. They offered an opportunity for us to connect with one another amidst all the busyness in our lives.”
