Grow Old Along With Me Marriage in the Later Years

Successful marriages are not an accident. A lasting marital relationship is the result of loving commitment, self-giving, intimacy, and respect for another person. It is a relationship in which a man and a woman grow together not only in body, but also in spirit. Grow Old Along with Me looks at the many elements that make a marriage more loving and fulfilling as two people grow older. In a mature relationship, spouses recognize and appreciate the good in their marriage, not only in the past, but right here and now. A mature couple is in a unique position to eliminate frustrations as they are drawn ever closer. Intimacy finds a new dimension -- a dimension that moves beyond the physical encounter. This new intimacy binds the couple in a deeper union as they move away from things that disrupt their relationship to become joined in spirit as well as body. Couples growing together in mature intimacy find it easier to adapt to change and to stay interested in each other and in their world. Complete with spousal discussion starters and sections relating to adult children and remarriage after the death of a spouse, Grow Old Along with Me is a celebration of the joys of marriage in the mature years.
