When is it okay to move on after losing a relationship, either to death or divorce, and when is it too soon? What about the dreaded "one-year rule?" And what about the kids? Should they have a veto? We talk about these issues, and handle a listener question from a man who's begun to date less than a year after his wife's death.

What do you think about the possibility of living to 100? However old you get to be, how can you live a life worth living, a life of meaning and fulfillment? We interview psychologist Dr. Joe Casciani, whose Living to 100 Club offers help with these issues, and we tackle a question from a listener who is aging well herself but fears her husband has given up.

We look back over our podcast year, and look ahead to 2022. Communication (more specifically, “It’s Not About Communication!”) continues to be our most popular topic, followed by sex. (Kind of makes sense, doesn’t it!) Along the way, Bruce lets slip what he’s working on for his next book.
