I'm a strong believer in eating meals together. There's nothing more relaxing and satisfying than a good, home cooked meal and stimulating conversation. Thanks for the tips. Number 6 is key for me.

I love how slower eating can be thought to indirectly improve marriage in part because it makes you healthier. Healthier, more relaxed people can carry on healthy relationships more easily. And when you eat slower, you are almost forced to talk to the other people around the table. Cool. Thanks for the thought. I love the holistic approach to marriage you have on this site.

I hate it but find it so difficult to slow down. I have been a teacher for years. By the time I dropped my kids off at the cafeteria, got my lunch out and made enough time in the end to pick up the kids, I have to inhale my food. I find that no matter what meal I am eating, I feel a sense of urgency while I eat it. It spoils the meal and then I sit there forever while I wait on others to finish. I've attempted to slow down but so far haven't been very successful. I am one of the fastest eaters I know. I hate it but find it so difficult to slow down. I have been a teacher for years.

(Assuming, of course, the next scan is good.) Dinnertime is so massively awkward that I can't wait to get it over with.

I'm the queen of fast food, and I miss those family dinners that just seemed to linger forever because we were having such a good time talking and laughing. I really like this idea.

Each morning I get up very early (4:40) to get to gym and then straight to work. I usually end up with a breakfast sandwich from some fast food place. Eh! I'm a picky eater who doesn't like cereal or breakfast bars. I need something I can eat on the way to work or at my desk. Unfortunately, fast is what my morning requires!

Some of our favorite times is the last part of our meals at home. The kids have finished and are off playing, we get moments to talk (although we are constantly interrupted). Still better than not connecting at all in my book. If there is one thing that can rush a meal … it’s kids. Some of our favorite times is the last part of our meals at home.

However, we have a 5 month old that sometimes tries to rush us through the meal.
