The Intentional Family by Paul Doherty
Simple Rituals to Strengthen Family Ties
A practical guide to building stronger family bonds through deliberate, meaningful rituals, it explains how everyday routines—like shared meals, bedtime practices, weekly dates, holidays, and vacations—create connection, identity, and resilience. It contrasts the drift of busy, “entropic” family life with an intentional approach that protects time, sets boundaries around media and schedules, and adapts rituals as children grow and circumstances change. With examples for couples, parents, and diverse family structures, it offers step-by-step strategies to create, troubleshoot, and renew rituals that foster warmth, cooperation, and a sense of belonging.
