Canadian researchers have claimed that older couples are more in love and lead satisfying sex lives compared to most other people.
Persons older than 65 obtained the highest scores of 119 and 120 points on the Spanier Dyadic Adjustment Scale, which measures couples’ happiness, compared to the Canadian average of 114.
“It’s a significant difference,” said Gilles Trudel, a psychology professor at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM).

The scale takes into account not only sexual satisfaction among the couples, but also how well they communicated, functioned together in general, and their cohesion. Researchers questioned 508 couples all from Quebec and all already pensioners, most aged over 65.
Trudel admits that the fact that divorced couples were not included in the study could account for its optimistic results, as this left only results from happy older couples.
Alternately, he theorized that couples after they retire have much more time to spend together and do things couples do, “like a second honeymoon.”
However, in some other cases, retirement can have the reverse effect: with more time on their hands, marital problems that remained latent during many years focused on career or child-rearing suddenly surface.
