Practical, entertaining, and optimistic, Retired with Husband uses corporate reengineering strategies to help couples create joyful second adulthoods. With a boomer-style superwoman as the change agent (or coach or team leader as required) the recently retired couple finds ways to meet challenges such as these:

My husband—
is (or was) his work.
thinks “appliance” is a girl thing.
thinks rapport is a conversation with his dog.
can’t let go of his inner cowboy.

One or both of us think—
retirement is downtime.
our partner doesn’t listen.
if we enjoy it, it can’t be exercise.
who wants to look their age?

Juggling marriage, motherhood, home management, and a career became second nature to a whole generation of superwomen. The skills they honed will be put to exciting new uses as millions of boomers in “partnership marriages” redefine retirement in the twenty-first century. The book mixes tongue-in-cheek humor with bona fide strategies for achieving ten Objectives, four Goals, and a far-reaching Vision statement. Animated with enlightening (and comfortingly familiar) facts about the boom-generation’s childhood and first adulthood, a consummate-superwoman narrator’s voice delivers a brilliant new strategic plan.
