Quality time requires that you listen and hear each other without distractions. This would require you your focus and full attention, no distraction.

What I love about this love language is that I does not cost you much money! A 30 pesos coffee of McDonald's and a 3 hours of chit-chat is already sufficient. Topics need not always be serious, the important thing is that you both spend undivided attention with each other.
We are very fortunate that our languages are both of quality time. We do not have a hard time speaking it. We crave it and we give it to each other. We take time to spend time just talking and laughing about random stuffs - no phones, no other activities, just us.

Another example is our Valentine's Day DIY dinner date. While a lot of people are busy spending on luxurious dinner dates or buying expensive gifts, we did a homemade candle light dinner date! We prepared the meal together, with matching background music, candle light, and a bottle of wine. And that was one memorable and fun Valentine's day.

I love it when my husband and I sets a particular time and day to talk and listen to each other. We talk about our day, our BAG (see this post). We see to it that we give each other our whole attention. We also do chores together, talking and laughing - that is still quality time.

And ofcourse, quality time will not be complete without traveling together. While this may be a little bit costly, sometimes, it just feels amazing to get lost, go out and be with the person you love away from the busy world.
We say:
If your partner speaks this language, devote time to talk and listen, ask
questions that cannot be answered by a yes or no, do stuffs together, and most
especially, put that gadget down. Let your mind settle and do not let it drift
away to work, the tasks you have to do, or the bills to pay, or the kids.
Remember: The greatest gift you can give someone is your time because when you are giving someone your time, You are giving them a portion of your life that you will never get back.
