In today's episode we are discussing the importance of quality communication and the concept of Bids and Volleys as it relates to the communication with your partner. While the rate of divorce in the US has decreased in the last 10, the divorce rate has significantly increased for people over the age of 65. Divorce generally doesn't happen when the number of conflicts increase. It tends to happen when the number of positive interactions decrease.

Thinking about moving in Retirement? During your life, where you live is usually determined by your career, where your kids are in school and other factors that not only determine the location but also give you an immediate community of people to be involved with. When you retire, people often move based on other priorities. Maybe you want to downsize to something more manageable. Possibly you are relocating to an area that is more economical to live in. Many people look for warmer climates where they can be more active year-round and engage more frequently in hobbies. Others move to where their kids have settled so they can be closer to their children and grandchildren. And when you move to a new community in retirement, you often don't have the same elements automatically built in to connect with others and find your group.
In this podcast, we are talking about what happens when you move in retirement and how to re-establish yourself in a new area. We are providing simple steps you can take to create a new community for yourself so you are happy and enjoying your retirement life!
