At 59, Julie Rose Wells has sex at least two to six times a week.

Wells, who is based in Idaho, says over time, sex is still just as exciting as it was when she was younger.

“I don’t think that has changed for me,” she tells Global News. “[There is still] the touching, kissing and feeling each other.”

Sex can get better with age, but it all depends on how well we understand and cater to our changing bodies. And even though we all age, sex as a senior is still often stigmatized, says relationship expert Christina Jay of Preferred Match. Jay says the stigma of seniors being sexually active exists because we haven’t embraced aging.

As Ashley remembers, “Pretty quickly we felt that we were soul mates. It was just way different than any interaction with another human being I had ever had before.” Charles felt the same. “We just kind of clicked.”

A man who thought his wife no longer loved him has revealed his heartbreak after she was diagnosed with dementia aged just 42.
Linzi Thomas, a successful accountant and businesswoman, was a loving and affectionate mum and wife. But she began behaving strangely, refusing to wash or change her clothes and showing no interest in her family.

It was only after her husband, Mike, pleaded for help that Linzi was finally diagnosed with dementia. She now has as little as two years left to live.

Mike, 55, says: "When I met Linzi, I thought I'd found eternal love. We were soul mates.

I just watched this with tears in my eyes.  Two lovers reunite after 30 years.  So what kind of soul mate do you think they are?  Definitely twin soul, that's my guess.  With twin souls, it's often a lot of obstacles that prevent the two from staying together very long.  I haven't figured out the reason why that is.  It's a timeless love and the truest love of all the soul mate relationships.

It's in all the headlines, people are talking about it on social media and most are in the shock of the transformation of Bruce Jenner, better known now as Caitlyn Jenner.  As most of you have seen by now, Bruce has started his transgender journey as a woman.  And she - Caitlyn - is far beautiful than anyone could ever imagine especially for being 65.



So what's this have to do with soul mates?  I couldn't resist to post my take on this because the message needs to be heard - love yourself first. 

Most of us go through our lives trying to lead normal lives even with the bumps and bruises.  Bruce did just that but felt his life was wasting away because "he" wasn't what "she" wanted to be. She was quoted as saying of the Vanity Fair photo shoot, "That was a good day, but the last couple of days were better...This shoot was about my life and who I am as a person.  It's not about the fanfare, it's not about people cheering in the stadium, it's not about going down the street and everybody giving you 'that a boy, Bruce' pat on the back, O.K.  This is about your life."

It takes a lot of guts to declare war on yourself and that's exactly what she did because despite what criticism she would get from the press (none so far that I can tell) and her family (some accepting, some not), she did it to be true to herself.

I have preached over and over again that in order for anyone to love you, you have to love yourself first and Caitlyn Jenner is a living testimony to this despite the fact that she had to change her gender to do it.  While some people might not understand why someone born a man would want to become a woman, I think I do understand.

On his Facebook page, he writes, "I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self.  Welcome to the world Caitlyn.  Can't wait for you to get to know her/me."

The couple, who started dating at college, are now so in sync they even buy each other the same presents for birthdays and Christmases.
