About

Roberta Taylor and Dorian Mintzer are relationship therapists and retirement coaches who have found that when couples are able to communicate effectively and know how to compromise and negotiate, they are less likely to avoid the often difficult and uncomfortable issues related to retirement transition. Unlike other retirement information on the market today, Roberta and Dori  offer couples a road map to getting on the same page when it comes to their ‘what’s next’ vision. Developing a shared vision for retirement is possible when couples are able to communicate and plan together.

What led them to write this book?  Years of individually coaching couples in their third stage of life brought the realization that many couples were at an an impasse when it came to discussing all things related to retirement, like what their retirement vision looked like.  What they discovered is that many couples, partners and significant others were not on the same page when it came to what they wanted during this life transition.
