Senior Next Reveals: New Generation of Seniors Considers Divorce an Option, Online Dating As Well
Miami, Florida (PRWEB) May 26, 2017 -- The demise of a marriage is a tough thing to live through, especially when the marriage was long and the relationship produced children and many years of memories. There is actually a name for it: gray divorce.
It’s uncertain why the divorce rate is rising in the older age bracket and why seniors are turning to legal means to put a final end to their partnership. Many attribute the rising rate to older couples having grown apart, while others got married too young, or some possibly even wanted to get divorced decades ago, but didn't have the courage or it simply wasn't as socially acceptable as it is now. This senior dating site - SeniorNext.com - takes those newly minted senior singles into account and offers them a universally accessible place online where they can find comfort, support, camaraderie and even romance.
And they have a good reason as to why to target this group. A recent study, done by Susan L. Brown, PhD, a professor of sociology at Bowling Green State University in Ohio used Census Bureau data found that from 1980 to 2008, divorce among men 65 and older had doubled from 5 to 10 percent. Among women who are 65 and and older, it has simply tripled, from 4 to 12 percent. That trend for senior divorce is only secondary to the high rate of divorce among Baby Boomers who are aged 50 to 64. Their gray divorce rate is over four times that of those seniors who are 65 and older.
SeniorNext.com is where these very divorcees come to find love. These seniors who find themselves single again want to move forward and find someone new. Many of the members say that is why they joined - to find the love of their life, because their marriage was loveless, and they now have a chance to change their love lives. Another reason we hear often is that they can easily socialize with other mature divorcees, who simply get them. The site encourages seniors to get over the pain and drama of their failed marriages and try to believe in love again, in the new digital era.
Healing can be a long and arduous process, especially when there might be reminders of that divorce at every turn - in one's home, in their social circle, from their relatives to their children. It's hard to totally break ties at that time in one's life and that's why instead of being destructive and negative, it pays to be positive and look outward, onto what one's life can still offer. This mature dating site promotes seniors to live in the moment and get online.
SeniorNext.com is available 24/7 from all over the country, and can be found at https://www.seniornext.com/
