Few love birds are willing to truly look into the future. I have two older friends with a similar age gap and it is very challenging in the marriage when the older one becomes elderly and the younger is in prime retirement years. One dear friend has been nursing her elderly husband for the best decade of her life. She loves him dearly and does not regret it at all, but readily admits that it really, really stinks. They can't afford other care. For a while she was able to go off and travel alone during the years he no longer wanted to and then couldn't, but now he needs her close to home most of the time. She really worries that by the time he sadly passes, so will have her chance to see the world, especially if he needs nursing care and that takes up most of their joint savings.

These relationships require strong financial and estate planning, especially  if you are not very wealthy, to make sure the surviving spouse isn't left destitute by the end of life costs of the older spouse, yet with many years still to live.[/quote]
