Book excerpt: What factors influence the nature and quality of today's older couple relationships, and what are the complex links between relationships and health?

The chapters cover a broad range of topics, including the impact of health concerns, loneliness, chronic disease management, couple negotiation of everyday tasks, coping across the lifespan, and the prevalence and visibility of nontraditional older couple relationships such as same-sex relationships and "living apart-together" relationships.
