Harvest Moon : Cute

So, I got Harvest Moon: Cute...it seems potentially addicting.  I've actually restarted the game about 3 times now since I'm pretty clueless and I have no idea what I should be doing.  Thanks to some online research, I've got a better idea.  I'm supposed to run a ranch and try to find a husband along the way.  There are also little sprites to help you when you find them.  Maybe I'll finally get a clue and not have to start over again for wasting a tons of time wandering around.
