Jennifer Aniston Engaged - Older is Wiser?

With the announcement of the engagement between Jennifer Aniston and boyfriend Justin Theroux was this quote made by the actress earlier this year, "Having experienced everything you don't want in a partner over time, it starts to narrow down to what you actually do want. As I get older, I realize what qualities are important in love and what suits me. And what I won't settle for." I can't help but totally agree.

What are your thoughts on finding love and lasting relationships when one is older, and hopefully wiser?

The Golden Couple - Jaqueline Carvalho and Murilo Endres

The MVP Brazilian volleyball player Jacqueline Carvalho won gold for her country at the 2008 Olympics and also at the 2012 London Olympics. She got my attention when it was mentioned in the commentary as the game went on that her husband, Murilo Endres, was also on the male volleyball team for Brazil. I'm just watching the male volleyball finals for gold and Brazil is leading Russia. All the best to him. I also googled them and found they have a sweet love story...

What Would You Do If You Saw A Zombie?

Even though I have watched my fair share of zombie movies, starting from sneaking in Night of the evil dead around 10years old while my parents were away, I would probably jump out of my skin and run the other way if I saw one. The video above is part of a marketing campaign for Walking Dead and they got some pretty funny reactions. What would be your first instinct if you see a zombie in real life?

A Reader Responds - Who Says Infidelity is Bad?

Apart from the regular Dear Myne's, I get a lot of responses to my posts from readers of this blog, especially those who subscribe to receive it in their inbox. However, this response was so detailed I requested from the sender to post it here. She thinks I was being subjective in terming infidelity bad and promiscuity as reprehensible, since life is about different strokes for different folks. Well, read the response...

When Does a Relationship Actually Begin?

So we’re all familiar with the idea of the wedding. You know, the grand ceremony where a couple avow their intention to remain married to each other for better for worse, for richer for poorer, for fairer or uglier, and so on, before friends, family and the whole world. It’s such a public declaration that there can be no doubt in anyone’s mind as to when exactly the marriage started.

But that is not always true, men are real people - with their own needs and emotions - and often they are the ones who seek and find the woman after their heart.
