Hello loving older couples!💗💗
Did you just get married?
Do you want to get married but hold back because you think that you may be "too old"?
Does marriage in older years even make sense?
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!💗💗💗💗
Does LOVE💗 have an age limit? NO!!
AT a family member's wedding today (well it was yesterday), I was so touched at the joy love , togetherness and "GOOD VIBES" , not just the dancing and fun, but the seriousness of what it really means to pledge to another human your devotion in good times AND bad, (and a good time was had by ALL!!🥳😊🎉)
Much research continues and the overarching conclusion is that "even" when one is older, marrriage has so many positives around it: why?
It can
💗boost your immune system 💗reduce high blood pressure which can lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes 💗brings a relaxed mind-good mental health 💗less physical pain and , yes
💗💗 LONGER LIFE!💗💗
So to those of you who will be or have been married at a later stage in life, the maturity, patience and sense of commitment can actually be stronger, merging two hearts with AGELESS LOVE, and
💗HAPPINESS - ---who can say no to that?💗
Do I hear wedding bells?💍🤵🏽👰🏽💗😉😍
Good vibes always!💗
From my heart to yours💗

Hello loving couples!💗💗
Let's talk Sex and Intimacy --- and Ageing! It's part of life , let's keep it real!
Why talk?
Sex after 60 is an absolute yes , many couples into their 80s also have a healthy sex life.
Yes there are some concerns, but once we bear an open mind, we can better understand, empathise and remove the stigma and shame.
Overall: sex in older age is is positive because couples have a history, are partners and friends , have had a healthy sex life , are generally healthy, and have more time- fewer financial constraints, better communication and more experience and familiarity with each other.
Yes there are some medical concerns, both female and male which can affect sex:
Females: decreased libido due to hormonal changes; body concerns if there was surgery (such as a mastectomy or hysterectomy); vaginal dryness.
Males: erectile dysfunction and the effects of chronic medication and the medical conditions themselves.
Erectile dysfunction symptoms might include persistent:
💙Trouble getting an erection
💙Trouble keeping an erection
💙Reduced sexual desire
There may also be emotional reasons for ED .
Whatever the cause, the issue can so negatively impact your life at all levels, not to mention place you in danger from the consequences of NCDs (heart attack and stroke are just two of these)
Pain from arthritis, dementia and the perception of sex can negatively impact comfort of sex and intimacy , so talk to your doctor, as there are so many interventions that can make this easier.
It's not always sex- intimacy is touch, kind words, reminiscing, kissing, just being together.
Are there benefits? Yes, many!
💗boosts immune system 💗reduces blood pressure which can lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes 💗relaxed mind-good mental health 💗less physical pain and
💗overall HAPPINESS - who can say no to that?💗
What action step will you take TODAY?
Sex, Love , Intimacy and HAPPINESS!💗
Good vibes always!💗
From my heart to yours alway💗
