The Brangelina phenomenon

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston had a divorce for reasons that I thought were "stupid." If we all started to divorce for similar reasons, there would be not many marrid folks left in America. However, I thought that was the end of it. We thought we all learned the following from that divorce:

It is important to discuss all your priorities with your partner
before tying the knot.

But it seems that the whole Brangelina phenomenon is not about to end any time soon. While both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have denied that they are in a relationship or if she was somehow responsible for the divorce, the gossip mill is working. Their pictures have emerged in what anyone would call as "unacceptable" for a married man. To make things even more confusing, the couple is appearing in a huge spread in the W magazine as a happily-married couple with children in the 50s. And of course, release of the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" just makes them look like a hot couple even if they don't come to the premiere together.

Is there such thing as "Brangelina?"

Probably. The evidence is overwhelming. Having said that, Angelina Jolie is also a woman with very high values. So what is going on? Are they in a serious relationship or they just had a casual relationship? No one knows.

What does it all mean for you?

1. Never date a married person. I would say that be careful even while dating someone who has been recently divorced. If you like someone who is married, instead of committing adultery, it is best to either seek someone single or ask the person to get a divorce first. Chances are that either the person will realize the folly of being attracted to others while being married, or by that time your attraction for that person might simply disappear.
2. Divorce destroys families, as we have seen in the case of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, and previously in the case of Where to find love?
