Focus on the Family with Jim Daly

Maintaining a Thriving Marriage in Midlife and Beyond

When the kids are grown and age starts to creep in, how do you love your spouse well? Larry McCall explores this often-overlooked season of marriage—a time of quieter homes, shifting schedules, and new realities like becoming grandparents, facing health challenges, or learning to slow down. Larry reminds us that marriage isn’t about personal happiness but about reflecting Christ’s love through selfless service, even in times of change or transition. You’ll learn how to grow closer, serve with purpose, mentor others, and finish well by leaving a legacy of faith, love, and Christ-centered devotion.   Receive a copy of A Seasoned Marriage and an audio download of "Maintaining a Thriving Marriage in Midlife and Beyond for your donation of any amount!
