Features: This book is written for couples who are in long-term, loyal marital relationships. Many people face challenges in their marriages when they enter middle age, primarily from the unbearable "light" in life: "empty nest" and "retirement." The "empty nest" makes you lose the positive role of being a "father" or "mother"; retirement makes you lose the role of a "worker" who has accompanied you for most of your life. Many problems that seemed resolved years ago resurface at this time, some escalating into crises, and the world around you begins to feel distant and unfamiliar as it did years ago. To truly resolve them, it requires the joint negotiation of couples based on love, understanding, and wisdom. You will face entirely new challenges, and this book tells you how to handle them. Dr. Betty Polston tells us that only by seizing the right opportunities can middle-aged couples gain a fresh perspective on their marriage. This book is based on the author's years of research and surveys, including various questionnaires, suggestions, and real-life stories. For middle-aged marriages, this book is a highly satisfying and practical guide that helps your marital life embark on a completely new beginning.
