When families struggle to create unhurried time together

Our family has this dream of Sunday dinners that last for hours, where we linger and talk and nobody checks the time, but every attempt turns into someone needing to leave early or getting antsy about Monday prep. The kids complain it's boring, I feel like I'm forcing something that should be natural, and my spouse is caught in the middle trying to keep everyone happy.
