February is here, and while the world gears up for Valentine’s Day, we’re keeping it real—because celebrating February 14th has never really been our thing. From elementary school Valentine’s cards with heart-shaped suckers to packed restaurants and overpriced chocolates, we’ve just never felt the pressure to join the hype. Well… except for that one unforgettable year when Kenny G came to town. Let’s just say a surprise concert, a big-screen love declaration, and a whole lot of jazz made for a Valentine’s “uncelebrated” we’ll never forget. Sometimes love shows up in unforgettable moments—but more often, it lives in the everyday ones.

In this episode, we dig into what really makes us feel loved when no one is watching. Is it grand gestures? Not really. It’s the random love notes, goofy Instagram messages, back scratches, foot rubs, and intentional check-ins after long days. We talk about staying emotionally connected in busy seasons, the importance of communication (even when one of you is an introvert married to an extrovert), and why presence matters more than presents. Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, this conversation is about choosing love daily—and remembering that the little things always add up.

What’s up, y’all? We’re back for another real-talk Tuesday, and this week we’re diving into a question a lot of couples quietly struggle with: are you too busy for love? From packed schedules and nonstop responsibilities to stress sneaking in and creating distance, we break down how busyness can slowly disconnect you from the person you’re doing life with. Stress doesn’t always announce itself, and before you know it, you’re arguing with each other instead of tackling the stress together. The truth is, stress is inevitable—but disconnection doesn’t have to be.

In this episode, we talk about being intentional with your time, prioritizing your relationship, and creating non-negotiable moments of connection—whether that’s daily check-ins, prayer, quick walks, or a weekly date night (Fridays are sacred over here!). We share laughs, real examples, and practical reminders that love doesn’t survive on leftovers of your time and energy. If your relationship reflected your calendar, what would it say you value most? This conversation is all about choosing each other on purpose, even in the middle of busy, tired, and real life because love is worth penciling in… or better yet, Sharpie-ing in.

This week on Opposites, But Always Us, we’re celebrating Jay’s birthday and using it as the perfect moment to talk about appreciation, effort, and making your partner feel special. From joking about age, slippers, banana pudding, and forgotten birthdays to reflecting on favorite memories, we keep it real about how birthdays (and special days in general) don’t have to be over the top to be meaningful. Sometimes the best gift is time, laughter, and simply being surrounded by family.

We also dive into a bigger message beneath the jokes: knowing your partner, learning their likes, appreciating effort, and showing up consistently not just on birthdays, but every day. Whether it’s quiet time together, a surprise party, or just being kind to someone else in their honor, this episode is a reminder that love is found in the little things. Celebrate your people while you can, communicate what you need, and always appreciate the heart behind the effort.
