Growing Pains - Marriage At 64
|
- Let's not get physical
So - libido does tend to slow down with age, but this presents as a challenging situation if a wife or husband experiences a faster or greater slowdown than the other. Realizing that intimacy amounts to a lot more than mere sex helps, so too does a healthy respect for each other's ageing process.
- Looking back
You'll spend more time looking back at the various stages of your life as you get old. Think about it - isn't the best compliment you can give your spouse, in the sunset years of your life, telling him / her that he / she was the best decision you ever made? But don't wait until then. Evaluate your relationship along the way too. Are you content with the way things stand? If not, work to resolve issues.
Robert Browning's poem - Grow old along with me! - captures the spirit of growing old together... while suggesting that a relationship is meant to be experienced in full, through its various stages:
"Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in His hand
Who saith "A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!"
