Romance Redux: Finding Love in Your Later Years

Summary

Offers encouragement and hope to older adults who are ready to date again, with advice and tips from relationship experts and the author’s own experiences.

Romance Redux looks at finding love as an older adult who seeks connection, love, and fulfillment in a romantic relationship. Including the author’s own experiences as well as those of other gray love seekers and finders, she uncovers both the obstacles and rewards of re-partnering at this stage of life.

Using personal stories and expert research, Laura Stassi takes listeners on a tour through the many ways older adults can find companionship, romance, and a fulfilling sex life through a variety of methods, outlets, and resources. Learning how to love again—how to form and deepen a relationship with a new person—can be challenging, but it can also be rewarding, exciting, and successful, if you just know how to do it. And, finally, here’s hope for how!
