If we want to learn how to be a better dad, we need to learn to slow down. We need to stop hurrying and just be present with our children. They crave time with us—uninterrupted time when we are not just around them but truly with them. It’s when we spend unhurried time with our kids that they really feel and know our love for them.
In his book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, John Mark Comer writes, “Hurry and love are oil and water: they simply don’t mix.” If we want to develop strong, loving relationships with our children and wives, we need to slow down and spend time with them.
“It’s when we spend unhurried time with our kids that they really feel and know our love for them.”
