Eight Conversations Every Couple Should Have Before Retirement
A couples' guide to retirement, relationships and life's next chapter.
Retirement often gets planned down to the dollar — but rarely down to the relationship.
After decades of careers, children, responsibilities and full calendars, you're about to have far more time together, with far less structure around your days. For many couples, that's something to look forward to. But it can also bring to the surface questions you've both quietly put off for years.
The couples who navigate this stage well aren't necessarily the ones without differences. They're the ones who are willing to talk about those differences before they become bigger problems.
This self-guided workbook takes you through eight important conversations about:
Who you are when the roles that have defined you begin to change
What a good day, and a good life, looks like for each of you
Togetherness, independence and the things that can become harder when you're spending more time together
Money, not just the numbers, but what money means to each of you
Where and how you want to live
What you still want to build, experience or create together
Illness, care and the conversations nobody really wants to have
Family, money, and knowing when to seek proper legal and financial advice
A downloadable PDF workbook containing eight guided conversations, with individual reflection questions and simple ways to open each conversation together.
Work through one conversation at a time, ideally allowing a few days between each one. There is no need to solve everything in a single sitting.
Designed for couples approaching retirement or entering this next stage together, married or not, in a first or later relationship, living together or maintaining separate homes.
This workbook is not a replacement for personalised couples coaching. It is a structured and practical place to begin important conversations that may otherwise never get started.
