Many recent retirees have marital problems because the two people are all of a sudden spending every hour and day with each other and some find that this situation is a whole lot different than just seeing someone in the morning and then at night.

I graduated from HS in Kodiak, AK and stayed up there and fished commercially for serval years (salmon, halibut), then was a missionary down in southern Chile for 23 years. Came home because of my wife's cancer and started my own trucking company - (Bed Bugger) with 10 trucks. I have a million miles under my belt. I am now "retired" but busier than ever. When my wife passed away four years ago, I couldn't stay in the house looking at the walls, so got a "part time" job as skipper of a tourist boat here in Orlando. Sometimes I "work" 10 days at a stretch as it is the busy season but it's a fun, no stress job. I'm also the discipleship director at my church. Bottom line, I'm busier than I have ever been in my life and enjoying every minute of it. My dad, on the other hand, retired, sat on the rocking chair on the porch, and his brain went to mush. He died from Alzheimer's. I guess the moral of the story is not just staying busy, but having a purpose in life even in retirement.
