| Description: |
Midlife is a season of challenge and change--professionally, relationally, physically, and spiritually. On our better days, we experience a sense of growing clarity and satisfaction about who we are. We might even be coming to terms with our limitations and vulnerabilities, letting go of some dreams and creating new ones. But many days, we are overwhelmed and exhausted by the intense transitions of this season, leaving us feeling off-balance and insecure. And these challenges reverberate through our marriages, making us wonder how we're going to survive. Though many assume that "midlife" is synonymous with "crisis," Dorothy Littell Greco reminds us that it doesn't have to be that way. The demands of midlife actually force us to adjust and adapt, providing new opportunities for discovery and growth within our marriages. With vulnerability and insight, this book will inspire and encourage you to invest in your relationship with your spouse, enabling you both to thrive as you face the challenges and changes of this era together. Chapters: The paradox of midlife marriage – crisis or opportunity?; Telos – what was, what is, and what’s to come; Ch, ch, ch, changes – reading glasses, receding hairlines, and reorganized hormones; Pulled in two or more directions – how midlife caregiving affects marriage; Deciphering disappointment – the road to contentment; Navigating trauma and loss – the real crisis; Created to connect – how attachment issues affect marriage; Six, part 1 – how did we get here?; Sex, part 2 – where are we now?; Community – we’ll get by with a little or a lot of help from our friends; Telos reprised – becoming marriage visionaries.
