Marriage After Retirement
More time together is wonderful. Until it is not.
Couples who spent decades with one person working and the other managing the home suddenly find themselves together all day. This can deepen intimacy or create friction. The most successful retired couples create a balance of togetherness and independence. You need shared activities and separate ones. You need to talk about expectations: Who handles what? How much alone time does each person need? These conversations prevent resentment.
