Women getting back on their feet after 'gray divorce'
By SHEBA WHEELER The Denver Post
If any couple had long-term relationships figured out, it was Al and Tipper Gore. At least that's what we thought.
People were shocked and disappointed to learn that the former vice president and his wife were getting divorced after 40 years of marriage and raising four kids. What could cause a seemingly solid couple to crumble after making it work for so long?
Divorce experts say baby boomers such as the Gores (Al is 62 and Tipper is 61) are the first generation of older people who aren't going to be sticking it out no matter what.
