Get a physical exam and check for blood sugar, autoimmune, mental decline or mental illness issues. Sometimes that can cause a change.

Good advice! I would also suggest a focus on constantly looking for the good in one another and voicing many sincere complements. We have been married for 53 years and I have found it is best to bite my tongue when I am tempted to say something critical, or to give too much advice. I feel like my Spirit is working at disciplining the "natural woman," and overcoming mortal tendencies and weaknesses. It doesn't really matter if we feel our spouse is being too sensitive. What matters is our willingness to change ourselves and our approach. It doesn't feel stifling, it feels like victory! I am grateful for the Lord's Spirit to enable me to do this.

also, when two people were married that long and then retire...that changes everything. the husband now stays home all the time. where he was in charge at work he wants to be that way at home and when the wife tries to have input husband doesnt take it well because hey he is the one in charge...actually the woman ruled the roost and has been for years...suddenly she has no say.....believe me....its mainly the husbands issue that he has to deal with ...wife has to realize this is what is going on....he wants to lead at home..but home is more a womanly work....sharing tasks is the best ...but only if they share it and no one rules over it all...
