Most couples spend the bulk of their day apart; working, running, errands, or doing volunteer work. The separate lives we lead while working come to a screeching halt upon retirement. Can your relationship handle it? Whatever portion of your time you now dedicate to each other is very different from a 24/7 life together. You need to think now, before you retire, about how you will spend your time together and apart. Communication is key. Discuss your expectations as well as your individual and joint interests. Things will be a little strange in the beginning, but will smooth out as long as you consider the real changes that come to your relationship with retirement.
