"I can’t imagine having your relationship so publicly put on display. Sarah, I’m sure you can enlighten us on how that feels."

Well, actually, I can.

It comes with boundaries.  And most of the time, you learn about those boundaries after the fact.  You find where the other person does NOT want to have themselves exposed.  For instance, Bryan hates reading our arguments the day after they occurr.  So I try and wait TWO days.

(I’m kidding.)

And mostly, it forces you as a couple to find a very strong, solid core.  You have to believe in eachother more than anything else, because people will inevitably try and wedge cracks in the molding.  People will inevitably email different posts to you or send anonymous emails to you or do any number of things to make you doubt eachother.  And if you’re strong, and if you truly believe in eachother, it’s only a source of amusement.

So I think Jessica and Nick can make it, if they want to.  I don’t think the prying eye of the public will be what makes or breaks this relationship.  They are both successful, they are both young, and they both believe in the other.  I think they’ll be fine.

Happy Anniversary.
