For Certain Retired Couples February 22, 2005
Format:Hardcover
The audience for this book is the same as for her previous work on corporate couples, those together for the bulk of their adult lives, having raised their children and now face life together, day in and day out, for the first time. The advice is generally commonsensical, assessing each partner's preferences and goals, and getting about enjoying retirement especially for an educated, healthy, professional audience. Unfortunately, it is short on advice for developing interests after a lifetime of work, such as getting training in a new field, which could have made a bibliography quite valuable. For those who remarry in retirement, there is nothing about our issues we face, which are similar to any newly married couple, namely, adjusting to a new person in the house, children, pets, likes and dislikes. This is mainly for couples together for 20 or 30 years. It is a good start in an unexplored field and is easy to read and search out useful ideas.

Excellent September 26, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Excellent summary of little discussed topic that will become more important as the dynamic psychology between coupes changes as they age. People are living 20-40 years longer than they expected, and society has not prepared to deal with this extended life. Not only are their financial pressures,boredom loneliness, illness, death and other challenges but retirement itself produces profound changes in an individual's self perceptions that affect his/her relationships with others expecially the spouse.
