Description
Résumé:The role of spirituality among older adult couples seeking to enhance the quality of their relationship is a relatively unexplored field. Although baby boomers have effected profound changes in societal norms, including in health care, economics, and their work environments, at the more intimate level, the divorce rate for first-time marriages for this generation continues to be high. Popular media cite graying divorce or examples of couples who remain together in spite of their growing dissatisfaction. A case illustration is offered to explore how spirituality may help older adult couples seeking to enhance the quality of their relationship.
