How to Stay Happily Married for Over 50 Years Scholar, researcher, and educator, Dr. Victoria M. Rey explains how to build foundations for a successful relationship during the dating stage and strengthen these in the partnership journey to maintain a forever happy life based on her experience and research. She provides answers to the following questions. What do I need to do to have a successful date? How do I determine if my date is a potential good spouse? How can I have a happy relationship with my partner? What strategies can help me maintain a long-lasting, happy relationship or married life? Typically, sustaining a relationship or marriage is not taught in schools. As such, there is a need for people who intend to date someone, enter a relationship, get married, or sustain a marriage to acquire reasonable knowledge and skills for a successful partnership. Sexuality education is taught in schools in several countries to equip the youth with the knowledge and skills necessary to make responsible decisions relating to sexual health. Research indicates the positive impact of comprehensive sexuality education. Despite this curricular offering, some students enter a relationship or get married at an early age. Some partnerships or marriages of adolescents and adults result in separation or divorce. This book, How to Stay Happily Married for Over 50 Years, provides partners and potential married couples with the necessary knowledge, skills, and mindset for a long-lasting, happy relationship despite individual differences and challenging situations. It gives tips on finding a date, recognizing a potential good life partner, getting married, and sustaining a happy relationship. These strategies are based on Dr. Rey's extensive experience and research. This book also presents questions that help readers examine what they did or intend to do to have a successful date, determine a potential spouse, and build foundations for a happy and long-lasting relationship with partners or spouses. People get married because they love each other, want to live together until death or consider other worthy reasons. Despite these good intentions, some couples divorce or separate. Marriages in countries worldwide show a sizable percentage of divorces (https://worldpopulation-country). In the United States, for example, the National Center for Health Statistics shows that 4-5 million people get married every year in the United States, and about 42-53% of those marriages eventually end in divorce (Marriage and Divorce, cdc.gov.). A 2005 United States national survey indicated 12 top reasons for divorce such as lack of commitment, constant arguing or conflict, infidelity, marrying too young, unrealistic expectations about partner or marriage, inequality between partners, inadequate preparation for marriage, domestic violence, financial problems, conflict about domestic work, lack of family support, and religious differences (psychcentral.com). This book, How to Stay Happily Married for Over 50 Years, shows how to build foundations for a successful relationship during the dating stage and strengthen these in the relationship journey to maintain a forever happy life. My husband, Solomon, and I use these tips to stay happily married for over 50 years. These are realistic and proven strategies for building and maintaining a long-lasting, happy relationship forever.
