People today are living longer and healthier lives than at
any other time in history—with profound implications for the
nature of their romantic relationships. In this inspiring
new book, best-selling author Abigail Trafford describes how
people over fifty are rewriting the script of love and in
the process redefining the institution of marriage for
future generations. Drawing on interviews with hundreds of
men and women, married and single, gay and straight, she
shows how the unprecedented period of vitality after midlife
but before traditional old age is much more complicated
romantically and sexually than those glossy images of
gray-haired people on the beach would suggest. And she
reveals how today’s fifty-plus men and women are raising the
bar on marital satisfaction. They are more likely to break
up an unhappy liaison than previous generations; and they
are more freewheeling in finding new formulas for romantic
satisfaction. Trafford deftly narrates what it means to love and be loved
in the decades after midlife—and she offers solutions to the
most common problems that define this time of life. Whether
she’s shedding light on “retired-spouse syndrome,” sharing
stories of sexual turmoil, explaining how to plan a marital
time-out or navigate the troubled waters of divorce,
Trafford’s wise and compassionate counsel is imbued with her
signature warmth and reassurance. As Time Goes By is an
urgently needed guide to the pursuit of love and happiness
in this dynamic stage of life.
