Living well in retirement depends on a variety of decisions people make as they prepare for and enter this new chapter of life and living. Women approaching and experiencing life in their senior years are the largest and fastest-growing part of the population. Today's senior women live longer, are healthier, better educated, more involved in the world, and more active than the women who preceded us. Meet women who reveal the realities of life for retirement-age women, and demonstrate the dreams, joys, concerns, and fears that come along with this phase of life.

Maggie Scarf

In a series of intimate interviews, Scarf delves into the lives of couples married for more than two decades and discerns encouraging new insights about marriage. Seen through the eyes of these baby boomers as they move into this new phase of life, we hear in the couples own words how they survived the bumps together and learned to balance their needs with those of their partners. Scarf reveals that, in many ways, men and women in long-term marriages are far happier and more fulfilled in their relationships today than when they were younger.
