After twenty, thirty, or even forty years of marriage, countless
vacations together, raising well-adjusted children, and sharing
property and finances-what could go wrong? Gray Divorce offers a
provocative look at the growing rate of marital splits after the
age of 50, showcasing the voices of men and women who are
considering, going through, or have undergone one. With empathy and
insight, Jocelyn Crowley, who has written widely on family issues,
uncovers the reasons for why men and women divorce-and the
penalties and benefits that each pay for their choice. From the
outside, many may ask why couples in mid-life and readying for
retirement choose to make a drastic change in their marital status.
Yet nearly 1 out of every 4 divorces is "gray." Crowley sheds light
on why divorce occurs-seeing marriage in a different lens,
understanding the seismic shift in individual priorities, and the
impact of the increase in life expectancy. With a deft eye, she
analyzes the experiences of women and men as they go through this
life transition-specifically how women are affected economically
while men are affected socially. With a realistic yet passionate
voice, Crowley shares the personal positive outlooks and the
necessary supportive public policies that must take place to best
help new divorcees. Engaging and instructive, Gray Divorce is a
must-read for anyone interested in contemporary American culture.
