Love and relationships in retirement

Colourful retirement stories

With any new relationship there’s plenty to adjust to and learn about each other – and new partnerships in later years are no different.

Even if age does bring experience, communication is key to laying down the foundations to a successful partnership. From working out how you best manage your money between you, to discussing how changes might impact inheritance plans and looking after each other as you get older, having these conversations early on is an important part of navigating love in later life. We share the stories of people who have done just that, and have valuable insights to share on their experience of blended families and new love.
