A study conducted by eHarmony Labs suggests that retirement living women are more likely to feel a lift from socially supportive activities such as helping their friends solve a problem, cheering them up or just communicating how they feel.
While those behaviors can result in better overall wellbeing and physical health for both sexes, the study revealed that women experienced a greater boost from the communicative behaviors than their male counterparts.
For retirement living couples, it might be wise to keep in mind that women will greatly benefit from deliberate communications, especially as Valentine’s Day approaches!
However, men shouldn’t use this information as an excuse to avoid communication with friends and loved ones, as a study conducted in the journal Neurology has found that socially active seniors were more likely to stay mentally sharp.
