One Of The Best Things For Your Mixed Faith Relationship

When it comes to navigating a mixed faith relationship, we often talk about communication, empathy, and listening—and those are all so important. But today, I want to highlight something we don’t talk about nearly enough:

Sleep.

It’s easy to overlook, but sleep is the foundation of so many things we’re trying to build in our relationships—patience, compassion, nervous system regulation, and the ability to see things clearly when faith feels different.

When we're running on empty, everything feels harder. We snap quicker, misunderstand faster, and lose access to the part of our brain that helps us respond with love instead of react with fear.

So this weekend, consider asking yourself:
​“Am I actually upset… or just tired?”

And if sleep has been a struggle, you’re not alone. I’ve put together some resources that can help:

Take a few minutes today to reflect:
👉 What’s one small shift I could make this week to support better sleep—for me or my relationship?​
It might be turning off your phone earlier, dimming the lights at night, or even giving yourself permission to rest without guilt.

Better sleep really can mean a better connection. And you deserve both.
