For many older couples, retirement years get better and better. Common interests, interests, plus increased lèisure, create the ideal arrangement. arrangement. They're finally free of day-to-day concerns regarding regarding their growing children. Their new freedom also permits permits them to enjoy their grand-children without having having to take much responsibility responsibility for them. They can travel. Retirement can mean dreams come true. That rosy picture isn't the reality for many couples, however. Financial difficulties difficulties or intractable health problems can make retirement retirement years very uncomfortable. uncomfortable. As the time grows shorter for those long- awaited rewards for a life of hard work, regrets and disappointments disappointments are harder to bear (and to rationalize). A problem common to many retired couples regardless regardless of their circum-i stances is the belated discovery discovery (or rediscovery) that ilff United Church News On Sunday, September 11, Reverend Donald Stiles embarked on the fall series of sermons, the first being, On Belonging to the Church.

Couples Couples grow apart. All along, their principal 1 shared interest has*probably been the children. The years have been filled by the ups and downs of parenting and of making a living. Lots of couples bave found that- their pre-occupation with raising children has weakened weakened their other shared interests. interests. They've done less and less together. Even something something as simple as going out for a meal together no longer happens. I'm thinking of a particular particular retirement scenario, disheartening disheartening but not irreversible. irreversible. That's when one spouse; wants to get into some new activities (more sports, travel, travel, taking courses, joining a club, dancing, evenings on the town, card parties, etc.) while the other wants only to stay at home as usual and watch television. The stay- at-home can't be bothered. The adventurer is bored staying at home. There are numerous facile facile labels for the problems. It's the result of poor communication. communication. It's a problem of hard-to-break habits. Or couples couples have neglected each other and forgotten what they meant to each other in the beginning of their marriage. marriage. It's easy to. say that if a marriage doesn't grow as the family changes it will languish and die. But those explanations based on hindsight hindsight don't offer much help. What should a couple do in this retirement situation? Split and go their separate ways? Stay together in name while each pursues separate interests? Should the one who wants change and variety variety in lifestyle give that up and stay in the old mold in order to keep peace? This latter solution is common. One spouse, usually usually the stay-at-home, gets his or her own way. Because change is always harder than repetition, the adventurer adventurer goes along, seldom disagreeing. disagreeing. The stay-at-home nixes new ideas for recreation recreation as expensive, hence unnecessary. unnecessary. It's hard for anyone anyone to argue with the line that says, "It's too expensive," expensive," so the would-be adventurer adventurer gives in. Life stays much the same. The power balance remains intact, reinforced reinforced by decades of habit. With some retired cou- Bowmanville native Tim Taylor and his singing partner partner Anita Perras earned three awards at the recent Canadian Country Music Awards. Held on Saturday, September 10, the annual show celebrates excellence in country music in this country. country. For the fourth time, the two singers collected the duo-of-the-year award, this year with "You're Too Much." As well, Anita won the award for single-of-the- year with her current hit, 6 One Smoky Rose," and Tim won song-of-the-year recognition recognition for writing the hit. Tim writes all of their songs. "It was so exciting," exclaimed exclaimed Anita. "We're still on • cloud nine -- well actually we have just come down to icloud nine, we were even higher." "We just got back from tion, it's not worth rocking the boat to try to persuade the partner to go. To go alone might create even more trouble. On the other hand, some spouses are determined to live their own lives. They risk disturbing the marital peace, they take the course, join the club, socialize more, travel more-on their own. Can the stay-at-home handle being alone more of the time? Can the adventurer handle the feeling that he or she is guilty of betrayal? Staying together, but with each doing their own thing, at least gets them out of each other's hair some of the time. That can be a boon. As a solution solution to empty nest blues, it may be more practical than trying to resolve ancient fundamental fundamental marital problems. In one sense, the pain of the empty nest syndrome is what's experienced by a retired retired couple who are together together too much and have too few common interests. An older housewife, whose retired retired husband was now at home all the time, put it to him nicely, "I married you for better or worse but not for breakfast, lunch and dinner dinner every single day." Europe. Our summer has been crazy." said the talented singer. But although it's been busy, they certainly are not complaining. Residents of Bowman ville may remember Tim who lived on Duke Street for many years. In fact, Anita said that "we lived in Bowmanville Bowmanville until last year." They now live in Oshawa. Fans of the awardwinning awardwinning duo can see them at The Corral in Oshawa all this week and can catch them at the Stratford Ploughing Match next week.' ncr rnM 1712 BASELINE RD.
