If you have to ask, don't do it!

I figure it this way, if I marry when I have one foot in the grave, at least I will have a way out . . .

Depends on whether you think you have met the right person. If you have it’s a possible yes....if you haven’t, then it’s a definite NO! I say a possible yes if you think you’ve found the right person to commit to, but marriage is a big step and speaking personally, after nearly nine years of being a widow, I would have to be very sure before giving up my autonomy, and freedom to do exactly as I wish.

Having had 100% control of the remote for going on 10 years now, it is Not for me! Live in a duplex next door, maybe, but NO legal ties!

I'm about the same age and have no kids. I have no desire to marry again and I'm guessing most women my age would feel the same way, whether they have kids or not. I wish I could at least find someone compatible and attractive in my age group that lived in my area, but that has been a big nothing so far in two years. If I did find someone right and it lasted for a couple years or more, I would write them into my will, but not marry them. Right now I am not in a hurry to live with anyone again either unless I had dated them for at least a couple years. If you do marry again, get a prenup and very few women at our age would object to having one.

I am a widower too and I am tired of waiting on being given a chance to date by the women online who seem compatible, since I have effectively been on my own for several years now, even while my late wife was living with dementia.

It is not about wisdom, it is just something you either have to do or not.

It seems to me that the institution of marriage is mostly about legal affairs of assets and health care rights. If you each have children marriage would affect your estate.

I am not sure how I would approach that. You can be committed to each other but these are complex issues dealt with separately from a state or religous context.

For me, the question is am I too long living life exactly as I please to be capable of sharing my time and my interests, and investing in someone else's. I believe love can make the transaction a no-brainer but otherwise I'm not sure it would work.

How long were you single before you got married the first time? What are your plans for the rest of your life and is this the person you want to share those plans with, until death do you part?

You know your own mind, protect each others assets(pre-nup)
At 58 and in good health your life expectancy could easily span another 30 years. If you are lucky enough to find a companion ,why not?

I personally would say yes if you found love again.Older couples joy comes from consciously committing to share the best and the worst of whatever lies ahead .
BUT
Since you are asking us maybe not .
Doubts?
It could be I’m just a romantic at heart.

Just a few thoughts. At your age you probably have at least 20 years left. I can understand not wanting to spend them alone. However, even if you find someone to love who loves you back, is marriage a necessity? There are a lot of legal issues. If you both have substantial resources and family, then perhaps a commitment ceremony in lieu of a wedding might be better. But it entirely depends on how YOU two feel. Just be sure you are thinking things through. Love and logic are not incompatible

Sure ,why not, both you and your partner are more stable,child raising is not in the picture,now is the time to enjoy each other,travel sleep in,do hobbies together.

If you find the right lady for you Yes !!!!!

Why not if it's right

Prenup.

Review your finances & those of your potential spouse. What is their credit score? Are they going to be a credit detriment?

Look at your retirement benefits, 401k & impact on your tax bracket if you marry. What's going to change? See a tax attorney or cpa.

If you're feeling it, go for it! The only wrong move is to not let your inner desires guide you.

If you found a wonderful companion whose company you enjoy, go for it!

Glad to hear. You know the stats so I have confidence that you'll make the right decision. It's good that you are seeking advise though. It's a huge step for both involved.

You decided to be in a relationship and both of you guys are in love, right? How does your partner feel? Post of pict of y'all together, lol

I'm assuming this interest is prompted by being in love with someone with whom you'd like to share life on a permanent basis. Go for it!

If you are happy and this is what you want, go for it.
