“What is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” These words from poet Mary Oliver are particularly meaningful to featured guests Tony Tambasco and Anne Stewart, a couple whose unconventional love story is equally rooted in the romantic and the practical.

They reveal to host Pat Barbarito how their life experience, including losing their first spouses to debilitating diseases, changed their perspective on love, partnerships, and taking chances at any age.

Conversation highlights include: 

• The value of reconnecting with your younger self as you age, and how that can impact your openness to receiving and sharing love;
• What dating looks like in your 70s and beyond;
• Why marriage is still a perfectly acceptable – but not the only – option for older adults; 
• What to consider – family, money, living arrangements, religion, etc. – before marrying in your later years;
• Helpful suggestions on how best to navigate interfaith relationships; and so much more. 

BONUS:  Tony and Anne discuss the challenge of joining an independent living facility without losing touch with the world outside and offer a glimpse into their future globetrotting adventures!
