「老伴」的幸福指數
惟雯說故事
新的養老觀 ~~什麼人最窮？？？
沒有朋友的人最窮！！！
你有幾個「老伴」？
如果你單身、失婚或者老年喪偶，沒有老伴，該怎麼辦？
別擔心，老伴不是指婚姻關係裡的配偶，而是泛指「老來一起作伴」的親朋好友。
假設你的答案是「只有1個」，很抱歉，顯示你的支持網絡薄弱，你的生活十分退縮封閉；10個，不錯，相當充實；20個，恭喜你，保證生活非常多采多姿。
一般人常指望夫妻的功能之一，就是老了一起作伴。
但根據社會心理分析，這個迷思與事實相去甚遠，配偶不見得是最好的人生伴侶，如果一廂情願把配偶當成理想的老伴，恐怕會失望，很多性格不相投的夫妻，愈老愈不肯妥協，貌伴合神離，相敬如冰，退休後分床、分房、分居、分手的例子，比比皆是。
資深兩性專欄作家薇薇夫人毫不隱諱指出，「寄望婚姻（配偶）能解除寂寞，基本上是神話。」
現實中看到很多夫妻「你走你的陽關道，我過我的獨木橋」，幾乎沒有任何交集，她的一些朋友有時不能把心事告訴配偶，卻能對好朋友暢所欲言。
屏東科技大學社工系講師廖紀華也主張，老伴不是只有「另外一半」，一旦把全部的指望都放在配偶身上，期待對方陪伴度過晚年生活，這是把生命窄化，而且對彼此的壓力都太沈重……
尤其萬一有一半先走了，另一半則是難以承受之痛……
「夫妻關係太黏膩、太依賴，對生死就不容易看得透。」她善意提醒。
廖紀華舉自己的公婆為例，兩位長輩感情甚篤，在同一個學校教書，數十年來都是同進同出，從無例外。
前一陣子，76歲的公公竟然鼓勵婆婆跟著兒子去自助旅行，這是兩個人第一次長期分開，雙方都很不捨，但公公對家人說，「她也應該學習不要再這麼黏我了！」
經常受邀參與社區老人議題講座的廖紀華觀察，在絕大多數社福團體、醫療機構服務的志工，80％都是女性，年長男性反而不願意走出來，「家庭角色互換，女性退休後跑出來，男性則大多窩在家裡，只會打電話問老婆『什麼時候回家煮飯』。
老人學專家、世新大學社會心理系教授邱天助指出，幸福的退休生活至少包括6個面向，健康、感情、學習、工作、信仰（精神），以及社交活動。社會支持網絡代表與他人的連結度，找對老伴不但可以提升生命品質，還能改善健康與壽命。
美國密西根大學心理系曾追蹤100名退休族4年後的生活狀況，其中對生活最感滿意的退休族，平均有16名可以依賴的朋友或熟人；不滿意退休生活的，則只有不到10個朋友。
研究人員因此得到一個重要結論：團體和情感方面的支援，是左右退休快樂與否的重要因素，影響程度更勝於金錢。即使保持單身，但有很多親近的朋友、家人、鄰居，參加有意義的組織，照樣可以擴大生活圈，享受精彩的老年生活。
加州大學河濱分校教授傅利曼（Howard S. Friedman）在《他們為什麼活到99》書中指出，擁有滿意的社會關係與豐富的社交生活比較快樂。他並且提出一個自我檢測量表，列舉10個評估項目，譬如是否常和朋友一起做什麼事、每個月見幾次面、熱心助人等等。
老年最害怕自己一無所有，會恐慌、沒有安全感，愈早計劃，就能愈早瞭解還有哪些不足、哪些已經很豐富。
因為沒有同伴，生活不知如何打發，足不出戶、唉聲嘆氣的長輩比比皆是，「『老年自閉症』或『老年憂鬱症』比『老年癡呆症』更教人憂心。」找伴是退休族一個重要的人生功課，絕不容輕忽。
但老伴不會自動掉下來，而是用心經營的結果，更不能一廂情願以為船到橋頭自然直，一定要提早開始「收編」，中年就要考慮累積下一階段的人際資源。
廖紀華常聽到很多人開口閉口說「隨緣」，在她看來則是「偷懶」的藉口，朋友之間一定要花時間維繫，否則關係就會疏遠，「不要以前忙著工作，忘了交好朋友，等到老了再交，別人也會挑（剔）你。」
正如同年輕的時候會為「往上爬」做準備，過了中年以後，不管40歲、50歲，就要開始為「往下走」做計劃，一定要知道如何下山，才能順利地從山頂回到出發的原點。
總之，「沒有朋友的人最貧窮。」
「老伴」可提高幸福指數，全看你如何安排生活，全看你有沒有成熟的心理。喜歡就值得去做，別忘了，這輩子就只這一次
感謝 老朋友 。

Thank you so much, author, for providing your knowledge and offering us with such a precious asset. I’m truly grateful!
Thanks for the ideas you have provided here. One more thing I would like to express is that computer memory needs generally increase along with other advancements in the technological know-how. For instance, any time new generations of processor chips are introduced to the market, there is usually a similar increase in the type demands of all laptop memory plus hard drive space. This is because the program operated by these processors will inevitably rise in power to leverage the new engineering.
WOW just what I was searching for. Came here by searching for SaaS Law

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any means you’ll be able to remove me from that service? Thanks!

I discovered your weblog website on google and examine a few of your early posts. Continue to keep up the very good operate. I simply additional up your RSS feed to my MSN News Reader. Seeking forward to reading extra from you in a while!?
Wonderful article! We are linking to this great article on our site. Keep up the great writing.
I’ve learned new things from a blog post. One other thing I have found is that normally, FSBO sellers may reject anyone. Remember, they can prefer not to use your expert services. But if you actually maintain a reliable, professional connection, offering aid and keeping contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually manage to win a conversation. From there, a house listing follows. Many thanks
Hi, I do think this is an excellent web site. I stumbledupon it 😉 I’m going to come back once again since I saved as a favorite it. Money and freedom is the greatest way to change, may you be rich and continue to guide others.
bookmarked!!, I like your web site!
Right now it seems like BlogEngine is the top blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading? I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.
I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Everything is very open with a clear clarification of the challenges. It was really informative. Your site is extremely helpful. Many thanks for sharing.
I’ve learned new things as a result of your website. One other thing I’d prefer to say is always that newer laptop or computer operating systems have a tendency to allow additional memory to be used, but they in addition demand more ram simply to function. If a person’s computer cannot handle much more memory as well as the newest software package requires that storage increase, it could be the time to buy a new PC. Thanks
Hi there! I could have sworn I’ve been to your blog before but after looking at a few of the posts I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back regularly.
Greetings! I’ve been following your blog for a long time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Houston Tx! Just wanted to tell you keep up the good job!
Another thing I’ve noticed is always that for many people, low credit score is the response to circumstances beyond their control. For example they may be really saddled by having an illness and because of this they have higher bills going to collections. It may be due to a occupation loss or inability to work. Sometimes breakup can truly send the funds in an opposite direction. Thanks for sharing your ideas on this website.
wonderful points altogether, you simply gained a brand new reader. What would you recommend in regards to your post that you made a few days ago? Any positive?
I just added this webpage to my rss reader, great stuff. Cannot get enough!
One other thing to point out is that an online business administration program is designed for individuals to be able to efficiently proceed to bachelors degree education. The 90 credit college degree meets the lower bachelor college degree requirements and once you earn your current associate of arts in BA online, you will have access to up to date technologies in such a field. Several reasons why students are able to get their associate degree in business is because they may be interested in this area and want to receive the general schooling necessary previous to jumping into a bachelor college diploma program. Thx for the tips you really provide in your blog.
Saved as a favorite, I like your site.

An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a co-worker who had been conducting a little homework on this. And he actually ordered me breakfast because I found it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to talk about this subject here on your website.
One thing I’d like to say is always that before buying more computer system memory, consider the machine directly into which it could be installed. If the machine will be running Windows XP, for instance, the particular memory limit is 3.25GB. Using a lot more than this would just constitute any waste. Make certain that one’s mother board can handle this upgrade volume, as well. Great blog post.
Having read this I thought it was extremely enlightening. I appreciate you finding the time and energy to put this article together. I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!

One other issue is that if you are in a circumstances where you don’t have a co-signer then you may actually want to try to exhaust all of your federal funding options. You can get many grants and other scholarships and grants that will give you funds to help with school expenses. Thx for the post.

I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that you should publish more about this subject matter, it may not be a taboo subject but usually people do not discuss such subjects. To the next! Many thanks.
