You can tell Jackie Chan is starting to get that little bit older. He’s still moving along just fine, but his Hollywood workload of late is turning to kid-friendly films – requiring less of his well known crazy stunts and more of the cheesy acting.

Marriage for many is a test that often ends up a bumpy ride. Rekindling the weakening spark usually requires significant effort, and many are lazy in their attempt; for fear of change – to routine, or as people.
