Woooo… I think this is very interesting because it would greatly affect my relationship to hubby if this is true. It’s better sharing it with you.
According to Telegraph, the only thing we should keep in mind, to have a perfect marriage, is that the woman must be younger by 5 years and smarter than her partner in order for their marriage to work. They say this is the recipe the Geneva School of Business has come up with.
Though this theory is not new, a study conducted on over 1,000 subjects come to prove that, indeed, in order for marriage to work there has to be an age and IQ gap between wife and husband, with the scales tipped in her favor on both counts. Another prerequisite is that both partners should come from the same background, otherwise differences will only exacerbate in time and lead to the dissolution of the marriage, researchers believe.
“The academic study, published in the European Journal of Operational Research looked at 1,074 couples aged between 19 and 75 years, to find which social factors were most important to a long and happy relationship. Besides the man being five years older than his bride, and that his bride should share the same heritage, they concluded that a wife should be at least 27 per cent more intelligent than her husband. She should also hold a degree, while he should not. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the academics found that marrying a divorcee reduced the chance of wedded bliss,” the Telegraph says of the findings of the study.
Of course, there are also those who say that, while factors like age, IQ and background inevitably take their toll on the relationship and the institution of marriage, it’s hard to predict the chances of a relationship based on them alone, especially when it can fail even if they are met. Good thing they say that.

You are sometimes wary of strangers, but you open open completely to the people you trust.You can be surprisingly playful and fun loving. Goofing off is one of your favorite pastimes. But when you need to be counted on, you step right up. You’re always willing to work hard or defend your pack.

These past few months, I have been feeling depressed over our situation. I am used to having hubby helped me in our daily needs. But, when he begins his training, the situation starts to get shaky; couple that to the pressure of our huge debts from his surgery last December to his sister, who keeps on collecting payments.
Almost every day I want to cry as I get too tired doing everything. I know hubby wants to help me, but his schedule doesn’t permit him. I don’t know how to raise huge amount of money to pay for everything. Good thing I was able to get through that stage. Although we still have debts, I no longer feel too sad or depressed.
Anyway, since we are still struggling to pay our debts. We thought about venturing into vending machines business. I think it is the perfect business as it is a 100% cash business. It also allows me to continue with my life because I can set my own hours for this one. Other than that, I no longer need to worry about paying additional employees salary, rent for an office or additional utilities fees, and advertising. Vending machines do their own advertising.
It is indeed a sound business venture. And I am excited to learn more about it.
We all need to wind up once in a while as this will help rejuvenate our energy and senses. A long vacation or a simple weekend rv get away will do. However, there are times that a supposedly happy and memorable trip ends up to be a real disaster.
No matter how we try to prepare for that trip, there are instances that emergencies such as lost of items, getting sick or hurt, ran out of cash, and many more may arise. When this happens, it will just increase the stress that we intend to reduce. Also, there is a risk of overspending from the emergency.
That is the reason it is logical to have emergency assistance membership other than insurance. This is a very valuable especially during a crisis. It will ensure proper medical evacuation, return of traveling companion assistance, lost items assistance, worldwide medical information and so much more. It only implies that having it on hand will make you feel better even if there is emergency.
Many might not know it, but I am a big fan of Britney Spears before she lost her track. Now she’s back and has joined forces with Candie’s again for a new campaign, following the immense success that was the one for the Fall 2009 collection. This time, though, to prove that the company is indeed branching out to cater to other age segments as well, the campaign is also taking on a more serious note, thanks to the contribution of the world’s top fashion photographers shooting the singer.
The ads just made their way online and, while many of them are still in the same shade of delicious pink as those from the previous campaign, others are more low-key, with more emphasis on the main star – Britney – and the creations she models. These, in turn, range from Greek goddess-type of dresses to the cutest lingerie items and girlie pyjamas, with these last items coming, of course, is various shades of pink.
Speaking with MTV about the campaign, Britney gushed about what an “honor” it is to be asked back for a second season and to have had the opportunity to work with such wonderful photographers. “Annie, Mark and Terry are three of the biggest photographers in the world. I am honored to be working with them for my Candie’s Only at Kohl’s ads. It was an amazing shoot, and I know my fans are going to love the cool images… I’m very excited to be working with Candie’s for a second season,” the singer said.
It’s been six months since I made a small garden. That was the exact time I could remember I started to love plants. The move is inspired by my farming online games.
It is true that I love playing virtual games. But, I got tired thinking that I kept on playing and not getting anything in the future. So, I decide to transfer my attention to a real life garden where I can get benefits rather than waste my time to virtual plants.
As of now, the plants are already fully grown. Actually, I’m already using most of it in some of the dishes I cook. And they remain live and others are still bearing fruits despite the harsh condition we are experiencing.
Anyway, since I feel I have a green thumb, I am motivated to get indoor plants, for a change. I think it would be a great house decoration and a very refreshing one too. All I have to do now is to choose the spots that need embellishments. After that, is the only time I can choose the kind of plants suitable for a particular area. For that process, I might need to get hubby’s help. That way we will be both happy with the kind of plants we will choose. But, I think he would agree that the one in the picture is perfect even if I still don’t have a spot for that.
Last February 19, I said that there is a good chance of heavy rains, but it turns out to be very little despite the super dark clouds. After that, no rain ever pours which dry the land that increases the hot temperature we feel every day. For that matter, almost all families in town is thinking about going to a beach family vacation other than going to winter places. It is the best way they think to cool down.
As for me, going to the beach is the best thing to do. Actually, I’m currently thinking of the secluded white-sand beaches on the Mexican Riviera Maya. This place doesn’t only offer cool beach waters, there is more to that.
Well, I’ve been writing about this for a long time especially KARISMA. Most of the resorts of Karisma offer elite level of service, luxurious accommodations, invigorating entertainment and the classy snap-to service. Let’s not forget the food. Karisma’s gourmet-level cuisine is served in sleek and sensual sit-down locales and fashion-forward bars. Foods are cooked that meets the standards of the best restaurants, prepared in a way that will excite and surprise the senses. Mmmm, imagining about it makes me super excited.
As many women know eyeliner is the bane of existence for many a beauty conscious woman like me. There is a distinct trick to the art of applying eyeliners in such a manner as to not end up with that permanently surprised look which may be somewhat disconcerting to those with whom you converse. Some have taken to the application of liquid eyeliner only to find that they end up with black smudges in the creases underneath their eyes.
The best eyeliner technique for lasting effect is to complement your eye’s shape but slightly enhance it. For example, make a fine line that just slightly extends beyond the corner of your lower lid to get the coveted cat’s eye appearance. Use white eyeliner on the inner rim of your lashes for a more open and alert look. Remove eyeliner that spread beyond its intended locale with a q-tip dipped in a bit of eye makeup remover. Do not cover it up with powder since the color will come to the forefront in a short period of time.
These individuals engage in such manipulative actions for either sympathy or money, although some other reasons may at time be at play, LiveScience reports. With the advent of the modern age, real or fake tragedies are no longer consumed in private all the time. Many people update others regularly via their Internet website profile on the state of their condition, and some have even announced they were about to commit suicide on sites. But researchers add that, sometimes, the reasons behind pretending to be sick are not necessarily related to gaining sympathy or money, but also to a variety of other, mixed reasons.
There is also a medical cause at times, for all this pretending. The condition known as factitious disorder makes its sufferers believe that they are about to die at the hands of a terminal illness. These people go at great lengths to ensure everybody else that this is true, and will stop at nothing to perpetuate the deceit. A certain type of the condition, known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy, is even more subversive. It manifests itself when patients act exactly as if the children they parented, or care for, are sick or suffering from a terminal illness.
Cases in which people claiming to be ill actually turn out to be alright, and in fact trying to deceive everyone else, carry a major consequence on the public opinion, experts fear. Imagine the scenario in which you are convinced to help a cancer victim, send some money, and then get all of your friends to contribute. In the end, it all turns out to be a hoax. However, scientists seem to think that the general public has a lot more good-will and altruism than can be tainted by crooks.
