Answer to Question 2

Being married in late life helps people better deal with chronic illness, functional problems, and disabilities. The division of household chores becomes more egalitarian after the husband retires. Marital satisfaction improves once the children leave home and remains fairly high in older couples. Older couples have a reduced potential for marital conflict and greater potential for pleasure, are more likely to be similar in terms of mental and physical health, and show fewer gender differences in sources of pleasure. Most older married couples have developed adaptive ways to avoid conflict. Same-sex partnerships do not differ in quality from long-term heterosexual marriages, nor are the concerns of the individuals different. Relationship satisfaction is better when partners communicate well and are basically happy themselves.
