Life Starts at Retirement

Retirement changed our marriage - Here's what we learned


Listen Later

Retirement is supposed to be one of the happiest seasons of life—but it can also be one of the biggest adjustments a marriage will ever face

 After 43 years together, Ken and I discovered that retirement changed more than our schedules. It changed how we communicated, how we shared our space, how we divided responsibilities, and even how we saw each other.

In this video, I'm sharing six  lessons we learned the hard way:

✔ Love needs space.
✔ You have to get to know each other again.
✔ Communication becomes more important than ever.
✔ Roles need to be redefined.
✔ Contentment comes from building a life together—not expecting your spouse to provide all your happiness.
✔ It's about the partnership


If you're retired, about to retire, or simply wondering what this next chapter might look like, I hope our story helps make your journey a little easier. Retirement is more than leaving work. Sometimes it's learning to fall in love with the same person all over again.
