In our early 50's my husband and I have been thrust into spending our days at home together with little or no warning. Being laid off within 6 months of each other coupled with dealing with financial uncertainty, spending hundreds on monthly health insurance premiums, job hunting, unemployment, and readjusting a full-time work schedule to spending 24/7 together is HUGE!
BUT however difficult our days are now can also be seen as a rare gift experienced by few. Figuring out the dynamics in our marriage [while we still have our faculties!!] gives me hope for a happy marriage as we age. Too many people give more energy making each other miserable than finding what it takes to be happy.
