A recent survey of retired Americans by AARP revealed that although retirement means less sex, a majority of retired people say they are happier having retired. However, life is not all rose gardens and happy strolls to the local Sizzler for retired couples: 21% of those surveyed said they had more tension in their marriage after retiring and while 80% of men said they increased their housework load once they retired, only 47% of women agreed.
