Correct grammar use for the verb after using two peoples names

I am trying to find the rule for using and with two names and the verb after, i.e.: Kathy and Dan resides (or reside) in Los Angeles. My word program will make the verb plural on some names and singular on others. I want to know what is correct.
thank you!

The correct verb is "reside," since it refers to two people: "they reside" in wherever. There shouldn't be an issue between grammar checkers here - toss out the one that suggests a singular verb.

Reside is the correct answer when you use the word "and." The word "and" joins the two together making them plural, therefore use the word reside.
