Communication is key: Linc + Brittney
Hey everyone, and welcome back to the Love Experience!
For cycle three, we found seven new couples that were willing to share their beautiful love stories with us.
To kick of the Love Experience Cycle 3, we spent the afternoon chatting with our first couple, Linc and Brittney! Check out their full story below:
How did you two meet? What were some of you first impressions?
Brittney: We actually met on Hinge. I saw his picture and thought, “Yes, I have to know him!” He was able to hold a conversation, which I really appreciated. Plus, he had a beautiful smile and eyes.
Linc: When initially meeting Brittney, I figured we would be great friends. I was taking a step back from the whole dating app scene in general. So, I thought it would be nice if we had a conversation. Then, I had an event, and she came to support. She prayed and supported my event without question. After that, we went out (I loved her dimples and smile), we walked the mall and had a great time together. From there, the rest is history!
What are some of things that keeps your relationship growing?
Linc: One of things that keeps our relationship growing is definitely communication (Being able to communicate how we feel). Whether we’re making decisions or planning, we can make it through as long as we communicate.
Brittney: I would say our faith! We pray together, attend bible study together, and we go to church together. So, being able to have the same foundation allows us to stay connected as one.
What is the biggest strength of our relationship?
Linc: Our biggest strength is how we continue to grow through faith and communication, being partners with one another, having each other’s back like Bonnie and Clyde.
Brittney: We’re each other’s biggest fans! Whenever we doubt things, we use the right thoughts and words to lift each other up.
As couple, what do you do together for fun?
Brittney: Everything! We enjoy cooking, we made up “Sunday Sips” where we try different wines, traveling, going to the gym. He’s literally my best friend. Whatever we do, we enjoy it!
For anyone struggling in the dating world, what advice would you give them in regards to sustaining a healthy and loving relationship?
Linc: Number one is patience. Be patient with yourself and your partner. It’s really what’s going to save you in your relationship.
Brittney: Just take the time to get to know each other!
