Description

Friendship isn’t just about who you grew up with—it’s about who grows with you. In this episode of First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage, Lindsey and Aaron continue their heartfelt series of letters to their children, reflecting on friendship in adulthood.

As they look back on a recent birthday party, they ask an important question: How do you make and maintain friendships as an adult, especially when you have kids? They dive into what makes a good friend, the qualities to look for, and how friendships shift over time. From balancing family, work, and personal life to finding new connections in unexpected places, this conversation is one that every adult can relate to.

Later in the episode, they explore a parent's role in guiding their children’s friendships. How much influence should a parent have? And what lessons can we pass down about building meaningful relationships?

Join the conversation and take our poll: How many real friends does an adult need? Five or more, or less than five?Comment below and let’s talk about it!
