How I tune my man in a real house. With real kids. In real time.

Five minutes. Any room. Any hour. I tune my man before friction starts. I clear him before chaos builds. I place him before drift sets in.

I live in a real house.
With real children.
With real schedules, real messes, and real love.

Tuning my man isn’t a ritual reserved for candlelit evenings.
It’s a practical, intentional act woven into the fabric of our daily life.

Monday morning: Post-school run reset

The kids are off to school.
The house is momentarily quiet.

I sense his energy; scattered, unfocused.

I say,

“Go to the bedroom; undress; lie down;
bring yourself to the edge.
Don’t finish without me.”

I continue with my tasks; making tea; tidying up.

After a few minutes, I join him.

Depending on the need:

I don’t rush to clean up.
I linger.
This signals completion.
It anchors him.

Total time: five minutes.
