Summary

Sustain loving relationships and set yourself up for emotional wellness in your 50s, 60s, and beyond with this valuable collection of advice from two psychology experts.

"Drs. Mayer and Jacobs use their clinical wisdom and story-telling abilities to bring to life the challenges for couples as they age. Their advice will help strengthen long-term relationships to combat the rising trend of Gray Divorce." (Janis Abrahms Spring, PhD, author of After the Affair and Life with Pop)

With couples divorcing at higher rates than any generation before, and longer lifespans leaving people unwilling to settle for an unsatisfying partner, it's more important than ever to refocus and strengthen your relationship. The only question is: how?

In AARP Love and Meaning After 50, husband-wife psychologist team Julia Mayer and Barry Jacobs - with 50-plus years of experience between them - identify the 10 most common challenges to sustain loving relationships:

  • The empty nest
  • Extended family
  • Finances
  • Infidelity
  • Retirement
  • Downsizing and relocating
  • Sex
  • Health concerns
  • Caregiving
  • Loss of loved ones

AARP Love and Meaning after 50 offers insights and anecdotes, do-it-yourself assessments and follow-up exercises, and tips for connecting through the difficult times. With this audiobook, you'll find deeper meaning and greater satisfaction for the decades ahead - together.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"A must-read for anyone over 50 who is married or wants to be. I wish my parents had read this book when they were in their 50s! It's a practical, hopeful guide to renegotiating and reinvigorating your relationship. It will save a lot of marriages, because it will really help you and your spouse talk to each other." (Stephen Fried, New York Times best-selling author of Husbandry: Sex, Love and Dirty Laundry: Inside the Minds of Married Men and Rush: Revolution, Madness & the Visionary Doctor Who Became a Founding Father)

"Julia Mayer and Barry Jacobs have given us an eminently practical guide to maintaining connection and re-establishing intimacy for couples over 50. They provide engaging descriptions and clear step-by-step guidance to help couples forge deeper meaning and greater closeness. As the percentage of Americans over 65 continues to grow, this will become an increasingly important and relevant book for an ever-larger segment of our population." (Dr. Patricia Papernow, author of Surviving and Thriving in Stepfamily Relationships: What Works and What Doesn't, and, with Karen Bonnell, The Stepfamily Handbook: From Dating, to Getting Serious to Forming a "Blended Family")

"A beautifully written guide for couples who want inspiration, a refresher, or a reboot after the kids are gone." (William J. Doherty, PhD, professor of family social science, University of Minnesota, and author of Take Back Your Marriage)
