TomAndSally.jpg

Loving Your Marriage in Retirement: Keep the Music Playing offers practical solutions to the issues many couples face during the transitions presented by retirement. His, hers or both. This book is for the couples who want to reinvent or improve their marriage and themselves as they face retirement and the challenges of aging — or are already into the transition and want to enhance the quality of their relationship. Written by Sally Strosahl, a marriage and family therapist, with contributions by Tom Johnson, her husband and a retired newspaper editor, this book includes stories from their 47-year marriage, parenting their three children and being grandparents, her work and interviews with couples who share the wisdom they gained in transitioning their marriages into retirement with ease and vitality.


”A thriving marriage goes through transitions, beginning with the 7th year. The other major and challenging transition occurs later, in the retirement years. The author and her husband, having entered that space, offer a reliable path for the golden years which every retiring couple should take to insure their thriving for the rest of the journey. Loving Your Marriage in Retirement should be read by every couple making that transition.”

~ Harville Hendrix, Ph. D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph. D. in Getting the Love You Want: A Guide for Couples and Making Marriage Simple
