Something mystical occurs when a beloved arrives and touches our heart. We become mesmerized as if we’re under a spell, and we are deaf to all rational thought. We are cut off from cognitive reasoning and common sense as he slips his hand in ours. We blindly ignore the wedding ring on his hand, the calls from his kids during love making, and holidays alone as he spends time with family and friends.

Keeping it in the family. According to People, after continuing his quest to find distant relatives, best-selling author A.J. Jacobs sat down for an interview with his newly found cousin, actor Daniel Radcliffe. In the interview, it was revealed that the 25-year-old Harry Potter star is also related to pop singer Katy Perry (who is noted for Radcliffe having a crush on) and scientist Albert Einstein. When asked if he would like to keep the Radcliffe name going in the family, the actor responded, “Maybe because I’m an only child, I love the idea of lots of kids. But it will depend to a larger part on who I end up having kids with. I think men would be a lot less excited about having kids if we had to actually do it!”

The cuteness is never-ending! According to UsMagazine.com, new mom Olivia Wilde was all smiles while telling UsWeekly about fiance Jason Sudeikis and their baby boy, Otis, while at the Cinema Society & Revlon Host a Screening of Third Person event in the Big Apple on Tuesday, June 17th. “It’s such a joy to watch them laughing and smiling together. It’s the best feeling in the world,” said the 30-year-old actress about parenthood. “I look forward to when Jason can start reading to Otis because then, the best thing ever, is when your dad is reading to you and does all the characters from the books.” “That was my favorite,” she gushed. “My dad would do all the characters from the Roald Dahl books and I thought he was a genius! And so I really can’t wait for that moment with Jason and Otis.” The couple welcomed their son in April and have enjoyed every moment of parenthood since – although Olivia’s first national mommy holiday was absolutely horrendous, as she spent it in Central Park: “I had this image of Central Park being completely empty, just rolling meadows, one person a mile away flying a kit, some balloons. So [Sudeikis] says, ‘Yeah, we can do that,'” she told Late Show’s David Letterman on Tuesday. “So we go up there and it’s hell. It’s more packed. Everybody in the world is in Central Park that day. It also happened to be Japan Day, which it turns out is a huge deal in New York City.” She continued, “I had the image of the picnic and everything would be so lovely. There would be flowers and the baby would be cooing and I would be the glorious mother. Instead — we were sweating, and angry and hungry. Everyone had to pee. I finally just dropped to the ground on a patch of dirt, like in between two ugly roads, and then just ripped off the diaper of the kid to change him and he just pooped everywhere. Like a torrent, a flood!”

Tim McGraw hasn’t had a drop of alcohol in seven years. According to UsMagazine.com, the country star revealed his battle with alcoholism in Men’s Health July/August issue, pointing to his wife of 17 years, Faith Hill, as the person to get him back on track. “When your wife tells you it’s gone too far, that’s a big wake-up call,” said McGraw. “That, and realizing you’re gonna lose everything you have. Not monetarily, not career-wise, but family-wise,” he added. “It got to the point where my kids were getting older, and it was way past the point that they noticed it. And I noticed that they noticed.” Fortunately, the 47-year-old has been able to turn it all around since, but also credits his mother, Elizabeth Ann D’Agostino, for speaking on it before he married Hill. “Early in my career — I think I was 19 — I was so shy that to even get up onstage in a club, I’d need a few drinks,” McGraw shared. “I remember my mom tellin’ me, ‘Y’know, if you don’t get up there a couple of times without doing that, it’s gonna be a problem.'”I drank too much,” he continued. “I partied too much. And did other things too much. Chemically. No needles or that kind of stuff, but…use your imagination.” Although McGraw is sober, he still reminds himself of what his life could have resulted in. “Keith Whitley taught me how demons can overtake you if you let ’em. And I was headed down that path,” he said, referring to the late country singer (who died of alcohol poisoning). “You feel like you’re supposed to be ‘on’ all the time. Then you drink and get onstage, and all of a sudden you feel confident and powerful. It becomes a habit. Up until seven years ago, there were not a lot of shows that I didn’t have something in my system.”

Finding time to go out on dates with your spouse can be difficult. The both of you may have hectic work schedules that always seem to get in the way. And it is not just the two of you … the kids are also in the equation! No matter how hard you may try, planned or spontaneous dates rarely ever happen. Even if you do actually go out, you constantly find yourself worrying about the kids – is the babysitter reliable, what they are doing, and should you hurry back home. Well, fret no more! Cupid has 10 suggestions to help you and your spouse get away from your routine and schedule some date time for each other:

1. Every day alone time: Who says you can’t have a date every day of the week? Believe it or not, it’s possible! Join your partner in something that is a part of their daily routine, whether that means an early morning workout or late evening planning session. Quality time with your partner can make a huge difference, especially if you are doing something that brings you together at the start of each day and/or at the very end. Maybe even put the kids to sleep at an earlier time just to have that hour or so to wind down together.

2. Weekend getaways: A short vacation is not only what you may need individually, but also as couple. Work can definitely become overwhelming and you just want a day (or two, maybe three) to sit back and enjoy each other’s company, without the pressure and stress of work interfering. A trip to a cabin or a resort sounds nice, right?

3. Amusement park: Married couples tend to become accustomed to the the following routine: work, kids, sleep, repeat. Sometimes it’s easy to forget what fun feels like. An amusement park is a great place to channel your inner child. Take your spouse on a date to a nearby theme park – enjoy the roller coasters, attractions and games, but most importantly don’t forget to laugh!

4. Dance night: What better way to show off your moves than dancing? Schedule a night for dancing it up at your local club. Try something as sassy as salsa or as precise as square dancing. The goal in all of this is to simply have fun.

5. Fishing: Envision a nice day out by the lake, relaxing in a chair, with a fishing rod in the water awaiting a tug. Hardly any disruptions besides the noises of nature and sound of the water. You and your spouse will temporarily be worry-free.

6. Park picnic: One of the most classic (romantic) dates of all time is a picnic in the park. Create a basket full of you and your partner’s favorites, maybe take an activity you will enjoy (frisbee, kites, etc), and voilà! Maybe even consider bringing the kids along and making it a family day.

7. Pick a hobby: Choose an activity that the both of you love to do together. Perhaps yard work, such as gardening or mowing, is therapeutic – use this as a bonding experience and call it a date!

8. Pamper & Polish: Every once in a while, your sweetheart deserves a little TLC (tender, love, and care). Why not be the one to give it to them? Schedule him/her a session at a local spa or create your own at-home spa. If you would rather channel your inner romantic and set up your own spa, here are a few tips: make sure the environment is set nicely – well-lit and scented, relaxing music, and full of peacefulness.  Then, give them the best massage they could possibly imagine (with the help of your favorite scented oil). They will appreciate the thought and touch.

9. Comedy show: Laughter is good for the soul, right? Search for tickets to your favorite comedian’s show and ask your honey to join you for the night. Get a few laughs in while enjoying the evening.

10. Road trip: Hop in the car and GO! A road trip entails lots of jokes along the way, singing songs on the radio, sightseeing, etc. Make a day out of it – travel down the roads with the most scenery. Take photos to capture the memories and most importantly, enjoy the ride.

What are some ways to keep your relationship under wraps?

 Cupid’s Advice:

 Whilst some choose to announce their new relationship right away, others choose to maintain that bit of mystery for a little while. But exactly how do you manage to keep it under wraps until you are ready to spill the beans? Cupid has some advice:

1. Lips are sealed: Before any other step, you and your new partner must agree to keep it a secret (unless you want to tell a limited number of close family and friends). However, if you really want to keep it all undisclosed, telling absolutely no one is the way to go. It is completely understandable because you and new love are fresh and wanting to see how things go before jinxing the relationship.

2. Avoid PDA: Holding hands and kissing is certainly the way to blow your cover. Everyone knows “just friends” are not that affectionate with each other. Save it for the private areas if you want to keep the whole secrecy mission going.

3. Play it cool: Try not to become too wrapped up in your partner, otherwise, people will notice. Your family and friends will begin to tell if you are becoming distant . . . and that is when the questions will begin. Balance your time with each until you are ready to announce the big news.

3. Picking out your first pet: There comes a time in almost every relationship where you become the parents of a cute little animal. Whether it’s is a puppy or a kitten, your first pet together is just as special as a child.

Being obsessive or too needy can instantly set off a red flag for him. Tone it down! Check out this article to see what other actions might make your guy want to run. (GalTime.com)
