Some couples can have decades-long marriages that are strong, supportive, and intimate. As time goes on however, it becomes increasingly difficult to cope with physical or emotional problems. With age comes difficulty coping with negative events and less capacity to resolve them. When these struggles arise, a couple’s long-standing emotional and physical bond can easily be broken.
Elderly people are typically very old-fashioned, meaning they don’t believe therapy works despite it being an evidence-based practice. Because of this they are less likely to reach out for the help and support they truly need.
It is encouraged for couples looking for a helping hand or life solutions to reach out.
