Brendan & Lori O'Gara

The first thirty minutes that my husband and I are both awake belongs to our marriage. We wake up. We let the dog out. We don’t look at our phones. We take care of bathroom necessary things, then we focus on each other. We talk. We snuggle. We pray. We don’t do anything outside of the two of us until after giving each other our full attention for a half hour sometimes more.

What about kids and other interruptions? They wait. Yes, they will wait. You train them to wait. Make your time with your chosen human your priority.

This short time we get to spend together everyday grounds us before we take on the world.

This brings me joy.

Light & Love, Lori
