Speaking to Briefly News, Cape Town-based international counsellor, coach and author of Uncomplicated Love, Shelley Lewin, shared some insight about late-life marriages.

She said:

"In some cultures, there might be societal pressure or expectations regarding marriage, particularly for women, which could influence someone's decision to marry later in life. Late-life marriages often come with their own set of dynamics and challenges. One of the primary challenges is merging established lifestyles, families and possibly assets.

"Both partners may have grown accustomed to living independently and may have children or even grandchildren from previous marriages or relationships, leading to complexities in blending families. Effective communication and mutual support are essential for a successful marriage at any age, but they become even more critical in later-life marriages due to the unique challenges mentioned above."
