Life is still filled with love at all ages..Why not enjoy your golden years with someone you love....This can be controversial where I live because of children can make their parent feel guilty if the other parent has passed on and then the parent left behind choosing to date or remarry.....Never!, let your kids try to make your decisions....After all, most of them are married & got their own families.....You deserve to enjoy your life & be happy too! Loneliness can be a beast for some of us out there.....Listed below are the benefits & tips for marrying over 50........

• It will not be uncommon to get in little spats over your grown children, personal finances, & things of such sorts...
• Remember, you are in your golden years & by now, are set in your ways! Have to go back to the give & take state of mind....
• Both of you at this point have your own preferences that you are accustomed to doing such as certain foods, diet, hobbies, & your personal favorites.....
• Try to keep in mind that one or both of you may require time & devotion to each other's health conditions or etc... This requires attention that can take away the once enjoyed personal space you once had......

Here is a great song by Huey Lewis that I would like to share.....Check out the words in the lyrics.....

The power of love is a curious thing
make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
more than a feeling, that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
make a bad one good make a wrong one right
power of love that keeps you home at night

Chorus 1 :
You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
that's the power makes the world go'round

Chorus 2 :
And it don't take money, don't take fame
don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
when it gets hold of you
and with a little help from above
you feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm

Chorus 3 :
It don't take money and it don't take fame
don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
you won't feel nothin' till you feel
you feel the power, just FEEL the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
feel the power of love
