About this book
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.

How we love now
Suzanne Braun Levine
The kinds of love we can experience in a lifetime are limited only by our imagination. Women in their fifties, sixties, and seventies are living--and defining--a totally new love narrative. Whether they are already experiencing intimacy, joy, and great sex, or need the inspiration and support to go for it, readers will be energized by the stories of new ways of loving: relationships found (sometimes with younger men); rediscovered childhood sweethearts; long-standing ones enriched; and Internet adventures that feature choices and daring that would have been unimaginable not so long ago. This book is the "next chapter" in Levine's ongoing conversation with women in Second Adulthood, the stage of life she defined and celebrated in Fifty Is the New Fifty. As she explores the changes and opportunities for women in midlife, Levine's personal voice, experience, and research infuse each chapter with fresh revelations and reassurance.--From publisher description.
