More couples are divorcing after age 50 than ever before. Yet, there is another phenomenon on the rise: the Silent Divorce. Many married people experience this phase for years before deciding to divorce. Some never divorce for financial reasons or they still have children in the home, or because they think this is the way it has to be when you are older. Listen in as I talk about the growing awareness of the Silent Divorce Phenomenon.

Silent Divorce is when a couple loses the profound emotional and physical connection to one another, yet they choose to stay together for financial or other reasons. Some signs:

• There is a loss of physical intimacy. "We live as roommates" is commonly heard.

• You sleep in separate bedrooms.

• You no longer have shared activities. 

• You’re both in the same room staring at different screens.

• There are fewer attempts to communicate what's happening or at all.

• You've lost the plot to your marriage, meaning you've forgotten the story line or how your romance novel began.
