Dear CMR,

I recently started considering online dating but it feels intimidating. Can you give me any advice that will make it easier to find a person worth getting to know?

More than sitting across a coffee table and updating you on our life moment to moment, we want to share life with you. We want to be involved in the mundane parts, to learn from your experience, and feel a sense of belonging. These are just a few of the things that we want married couples around us to know.

Dear CMR,

I am single.  Some of my dating friends recently told me that when I meet “the right person,” I'll just know they are right for me. I've heard that advice before, but is it true?

"Dear CMR,

As a working mom and wife, I find it hard to balance time with my kids, my husband, and all of the things on my plate. How should I prioritize my time?"
