Dear Lindsey and Nick: Advice For Life And Love

Lindsey and Nick recently offered some marriage advice in honor of their first anniversary. The post was far more popular than any of us expected. It turns out that this couple really enjoys giving advice. “I think we’re good at it,” Lindsey said. Nick stood by her side, nodding yes. So the couple has agreed to offer their words of wisdom from time to time.


Dear Lindsey and Nick:

I’ve been looking for love, but I can’t find it. Where should I look?  
  ~Mr. Lonely

Lindsey: Don’t look for love in all the wrong places.

Nick: Check the person out, make sure the person you pick is sweet and loving.

Lindsey: No bars! Don’t look in bars because people get drunk in bars and have fights and bars are smoky and stinky.

Nick: Look for people you grew up with. That’s how I found Lindsey.

Lindsey: You could go on a trip and hook-up on an airplane or at a really nice restaurant.

Nick: And don’t jump into marriage right away or you’ll get a divorce.

Lindsey: And once you meet someone, you need to know him for more than two months. Probably more like one year before you get too serious.

Lindsey and Nick: If the first person you find doesn’t work out, keep trying. Keep the faith. Never give up on love.

I share many passions in this world: antiquing, gardening, hiking, traveling, taking amateur photographs, writing, sitting on a white, sandy beach with my husband and sipping a frozen margarita—just to name a few. If you enjoy any of these things too, let's connect! The world is better with friends.
