Having a committed, thriving, passionate LTR past 60?

[gnostick22a]

Is this possible?

I wonder because at my age post 50 - I am deeply aware if my mortality and all the little health afflictions I get.

I guess also people are much more set in their ways (me included) and I wonder the incentive to change if any?

What are other people’s views?

Should have said past 50! Doh

Yes. Certainly possible. There is at least one such relationship, mine/ours. A committed, thriving, passionate long term relationship. Despite those ' little health afflictions ' you mention; '... in sickness and in health ... until death do us part,' is apt. And it seems unlikely that this is unique; we do not seem particularly special (other than in ways such as I have explained to my grandchildren and their friends that 'Everyone is special in their own way, especially children.').

Whether we were just lucky or did some specific things right (and if so what things and how?) is something we have discussed off and on over the years, without reaching any definite conclusions. It is tricky. Relationships are often difficult to analyse in such ways. But anyway, whether by good fortune or good policy, we are where we are and count our blessings.

So take heart. Look around. Possible, at least.
