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.

  • Let’s talk about the highlight reel. You know what I mean, those anniversary posts with matching outfits, candlelit dinners, and captions that sound like a Hallmark card. “Married my best friend. Couldn’t imagine life without you.” Yeah, that one. But the picture never tells the whole story, does it? Because what we don’t post are…

  • Now let’s talk about the part of relationships nobody brags about…The Quiet Wars. You know, those nights when you both go to bed mad, laying back-to-back like two statues auditioning for a mattress commercial. Ain’t no “good night, baby,” just the loud hum of pride between you and the sound of someone fake snoring out…

  • 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…

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…

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…
