Brian Lear on

on WNYC and for the last 15 minutes of the show today, we turn to retirement and how it has impacted

your marriage.

212, 433, WNY, who has a story.

You know, some of the usual milestones

like marriage itself and having kids

are met with a little trepidation sometimes, right, along with the hope and the joy, major life-changing

milestones and retirement, though, is supposed to be a reward after all those years of working hard and raising your kids like a vacation or something.

And yet the Times recently reported that quote,

although it's still rare for married couples over 60 to break up, the divorce rate is rising

faster in that age group than in any other as baby boomers accustomed to self actualization

reach retirement age,

and evaluate their lives anew, unquote

from that New York Times article.

So we're going to invite you to put some stories,

some meat on those bones, in how has retirement changed your marriage

212 433 WNYC 212 433 9692 and I know you're not going to want to call in with the worst of the worst

stories.

Some of you might, some of you may have gotten divorced after retirement and want to say that.

But at very least, it takes adjustments, I imagine, and the reporting seems to indicate that.

Do you know the saying, I married you for better or worse,

not for lunch, right?
