011 | 10X More People Are Divorcing After 65 Than Ever Before - This Expert Knows Why
In this special bonus episode from the Remarkable Retirement Event, host Melissa Moss interviews Dr. Lee Baucom, PhD, a marriage expert who shares crucial insights about the rising phenomenon of "gray divorce" and how couples can strengthen their relationships before and during retirement.
Key Statistics
- Gray divorce has increased from 8.7% to 36% of all divorces for couples 50 and older (1990-2019)
- One in ten divorces now occur among couples 65 and older
- Second, third, and fourth marriages have significantly lower success rates than first marriages
The "Pause Button Marriage" Phenomenon
Dr. Baucom explains how couples often:
- Put their relationship on hold while focusing on kids, careers, or other life events
- Plan to "get back to us" after various life milestones
- Don't realize they're growing apart during these paused periods
- Wake up to find they've become disconnected from their partner
The Three C's for Marriage Success
1. Connection
- Physical: Loving touch, proximity, holding hands
- Emotional: Understanding each other, responding to "bids" for connection
- Spiritual: Sharing values, deep conversations, future planning
2. Change
- Embrace personal growth
- Adapt consciously
- Choose positive changes together
3. Create a New Path
- Focus on being a "we" instead of competing
- View resources as shared rather than "yours" and "mine"
- Work as a team toward common goals
Key Takeaways
- Relationships require active work and attention
- One person can initiate positive change in the relationship
- Quality of relationships is the primary determinant of happiness (Harvard 65-year study)
- Connection can be rebuilt even after significant disconnection
