6 a.m. Conversations
Where love meets faith…one morning at a time.
Category: 6 a.m. Conversations
Dedicated to the early morning conversations over bad breath and coffee. Meant to be funny, reflective, honest and spiritual. Relationships are trickier than David Copperfield but we must see through all the gimmicks and find the truth.

There’s a certain kind of peace that hits different when you’ve made it through a few seasons together. You start remembering all the little things you used to stress about. The arguments, the bills, the “you left the cap off the toothpaste again” wars and you realize, somehow, you survived all that and still like each other.…
-
You ever see a couple that looks happy but something about it just don’t last? They post long walks on the beach, cute captions, #powercouple but then outta nowhere, they fade faster than a DJ mixing a song at the club. That’s what happens when you build something beautiful but forget to feed it. See, love…
-
Here’s the thing about love: it’ll teach you the same lesson more than once until you finally get it. You ever look back and realize y’all been arguing about the same thing for three years, just with new vocabulary? Yeah, me too. That’s love’s funny way of saying, “You still don’t listen.” See, growth in relationships is tricky. It…
-
Let me tell you something about growth…it’s beautiful but it can get messy. You ever seen a plant that’s healthy but untrimmed? It starts leaning, twisting, taking up too much space. Leaves everywhere, roots fighting for room. It’s alive, but it’s out of order. That’s how love gets when you stop pruning. See, everybody wants the…
-
You ever notice how, in the beginning, love’s soft? Everything’s gentle. Every word is wrapped in care. You say “good morning” like it’s poetry, you touch their hand just because and even arguments sound like romantic comedy dialogue. But give it a few years, a few bills, a few 6 a.m. alarms and the tone…
-
Everybody wants the blessing of love, but nobody talks about the upkeep. You wouldn’t buy a car and never change the oil. You wouldn’t move into a new house and ignore the leaks. But somehow, folks think marriage is “set it and forget it” like it’s a crockpot that just simmers on its own. Let me…
-
Let’s be honest, everybody loves love until it stops feeling easy.You ever look at your partner and think, “Man… this ain’t what I pictured”? Yeah. Nobody puts that part on Facebook. We talk about falling in love, but nobody talks about staying in love when expectations crumble. When the “I got you” turns into “I’m…
-
Everybody wants romance until it’s time to check the bank account. Love sounds poetic until the light bill, daycare, and that unexpected “car making a new sound” hit in the same week. Then all of a sudden “date night” becomes Netflix and whoever’s got enough energy to stay awake past ten. Don’t act like you…
-
You ever wake up, roll over, look at your spouse and think, “Now who is this person beside me?” Don’t lie, you’ve had that moment. They used to wake up smiling, now they wake up sighing. Used to talk your ear off, now you’re lucky to get a “good morning.” Their playlist changed, their patience shortened,…
-
Let’s be honest, some days, love feels like clocking in to a job you didn’t apply for. No benefits, no paid time off, and management (aka your spouse) always has notes about your performance. Don’t act brand new, every long-term relationship hits that point. The “I love you, but I don’t like you right now” phase. The…
-
Everybody talks about “keeping the spark alive.” Sounds nice, right? Flowers, trips, surprises, all that. But let’s be real, life ain’t a Hallmark commercial. Sometimes love looks a lot less like fireworks and a lot more like somebody taking out the trash without being asked. Somewhere along the way, we got conditioned to believe love…
-
Let me tell you something nobody preaches about: staying in love when you don’t like each other that much. Yeah, I said it. You can love somebody and still not like them in the moment. See, disagreements come standard with every relationship. Folks act shocked when they argue like it’s some kind of spiritual failure. No, that’s…
-
You ever look at your partner and think, “Now, Lord… this can’t be the same person I married”? Yeah, been there done that. See, nobody tells you that the person you say “I do” to is going to evolve…sometimes into a version you don’t fully recognize. Life has a funny way of growing people up, breaking them down, and…
-
Let’s be honest there are mornings when “good morning” feels like too much conversation. Have you ever sat across from the one you love, staring into space, and wonder if they’re mad, deep in thought, or just deciding what to eat next? That silence can feel loud enough to make you start a fake argument…
-
Since nobody told me I will give you this bit of advice before you say, “I do.” The the butterflies eventually retire, the fireworks fade, and one day, you’ll find yourself arguing over who left the gas tank on empty…again. That’s love, the real kind. It’s not picture-perfect smiles and constant excitement. It’s two people…
