QUALITY TIME – If It Is Valuable, Then On Who, What, And Where, Should We Be Spending It?

Quality Time

“Quality time” (QT) is an informal reference to time spent with close family, partners or friends that is in some way important, special, productive or profitable. It is time that is set aside for paying full and undivided attention to the person or matter at hand. It may also refer to time spent performing some favorite activity.

“Quality time” (noun phrase) is a relatively new expression, in use since the 1970s. One of the earliest records of this phrase in print was in the Maryland (USA) newspaper The Capital, January 1973, in the article “How To Be Liberated”:

The major goal of each of these role changes is to give a woman time to herself, Ms. Burton explained. “A woman’s right and responsibility is to be self fulfilling,” she said. She gives “quality time” rather than “quantity time” to each task, whether it be writing, cleaning the house or tending the children.

Quality time is considered to be one of the five “languages” which are used to express love, according to relationship counselor Gary Chapman.

Moral Of The Story (Solution)

“Time won’t give me time
And time makes lovers feel like they’ve got somethin’ real
But you and me, we know they’ve got nothin’ but time
And time won’t give me time won’t give me time”
