In this day and age, I must admit, finding the perfect match is oh-so easy. With the advent of technology, particularly social networking, you can find and interact with friends as often as you like. You can indeed connect with your family and friends even if you are too busy to actually sit down and browse the computer since most social networking sites have gone  mobile too—that is, they can [...]

Believe it or not, it is easier to get a divorce than get married in America. I dare say, part of the reason why many marriages failed is knowing there is an easy way out even if the marriage was still salvageable at that time. However, we seniors belong to an era when marriage was a sacred thing that two committed persons engage in—until death intervene–at the very least, and [...]

Al and Tipper Gore’s news of separation last June came as a shock to most American. No wonder, since it was about 40 years of married life for this high profile couple prior to the news and nobody’s expecting it to end like that.

Isolation can also be an issue to most seniors who find themselves suddenly single after years of being married or living with a partner.

But we all know that it’s not always the case in senior relationships. Some seniors may find themselves falling for someone half their age and [...]

Seniors need not be alone at the age of 60. There’s too much in life that ending it at retirement is almost a sin! Retirement is supposed to be a new leaf offering liberation and freedom from bonds that hold us down.

These celebrities risked this road and it seems that they made the right decision after all. So, if it really works, what sets it apart from all the other relationships and what are its benefits for both individuals involved in the said relationship? In a May-December love affair, one partner is [...]

Love doesn’t recognize age. It strikes when it does and there are no limits. In fact, seniors swear that finding love at a later stage in their lives proves to be a rewarding experience—something they never felt before.
