For what it's worth, my 70 year old uncle is probably going to die soon, and his 40-something wife is going to be up shit creek when that happens (after nearly 20 years of marriage). She's had to wait on him hand and foot because of his old age, but she loves him, so I don't know how much the age thing plays into it.
And my 59 (?) year old aunt has been married to her 42-year old husband for some 18 years, and she got tired of sex after menopause and he cheated on her. Lots. They had a real rough spot for a long time, mostly because of the sex (and him wanting younger women, when he hit his 30s). They're still married, but I don't know how happily.
There's my two data points for you.
