Your family and friends need honest

connection, not 140-character generic

Christmas-letter sound bites.

Spouses need time to talk to you—and not just about mundane duties and family responsibilities. They need to hear you articulate your inner feelings, your dreams, your hopes, and your passions— even if you’ve been married for decades. Children need more than directives; they need discussion. They need to hear about how you live your life and why, what’s important to you, and what things you would change. Most of all, they need to know they are important, more important than viral videos, e-mail, Facebook, or texting, even if they don’t always reciprocate that importance well. Extended family and friends need more than just the leftover slots in your week or month. Your family and friends need honest connection, not 140-character generic Christmas-letter sound bites. All of these take time and patience, along with physical and emotional presence. Are there other relationships to be had, explored, and cultivated on the Internet? Sure, but you must prioritize your existing family commitments over any online activities.
