Watching TV, reading a magazine, and talking with your spouse at the same time is not quality time. Now if you watch TV together and then afterward discuss the program and share your thoughts and feelings, it can be quality time. The important thing is that your focus is on your spouse, not on the program.

For some people, quality time is their primary "Love Language". Nothing makes them feel more loved than to have the full attention of their spouse. What the two of you are doing really does not matter.   

What's important is that you are spending time together; enjoying each other's presence. This person is asking: Am I more important to you than golf? TV? Computers? Children? Your job?

If your answer is "Yes," then quality time is the language you must speak.
