couples in middle age  

Definition

  • Marriage (and marriage-like relationships such as long-term cohabitation, gay unions) is perhaps the most important interpersonal relationship across the adult life span. Marital relationships are not static but dynamic; they change as the individuals in them grow older. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Relationships; Couples in Middle Age]
