Finding Love Later
My name is Kathy Norgard. I live in a small mountain town in Colorado. After my husband died, I thought it would be my dog and me for the rest of the days. Unexpectedly, I met a man and we are happily coupled. I began to realize that finding love later in life is a relatively new thing that our grandparents and those before them usually did not find or pursue. And, it seems that there are as many ways of having a later relationship as there are couples.
I have a background in psychology, have always been interested in relationships and facilitated marriage counseling for many years. I developed an open-ended questionnaire that I like to give in person (or over the phone) preferably with both members of the couple to find out more about how people are putting together later relationships. It seems that there is a new culture evolving on the American scene and older couples are creating it.
I have interviewed some couples already and am looking for more. If you, or maybe someone you know, would be interested in finding out more about this project, please contact me. I am hoping to write an article and perhaps a book about the topic. Of course, people will remain anonymous.
