Whether this is your first marriage or not, getting hitched in your golden years makes this time of your life even more exciting and romantic. While every marriage takes lots of love and hard work, there are certain subjects that take priority when you tie the knot later in life. Following these four recommendations from Lifestage will help you navigate your new marriage and make the most of your life together. 
 
1. Consider a Honeymoon Registry
Since you are enjoying your golden years, there is a good chance you do not need the appliances and equipment that younger couples need when they wed. Instead of registering for gifts, create a honeymoon fund that guests can donate to.
 
According to one article, the typical honeymoon costs couples $4470. No matter what your age, this is a good chunk of money. Unless there are numerous household items you need, let your guests ease the cost of this romantic vacation by creating a honeymoon fund.
 
2. Have Discount Date Nights
Date nights are an important part of any marriage. Continuing to date your spouse after saying "I do" shows you value spending time with him or her, keeps the spark alive, and grows intimacy. 
 
One of the fantastic things about being more along in years is that you can take advantage of senior discounts. Restaurants, museums, movie theaters, and numerous other venues offer senior discounts; search online to find ones in your area. Plan a few date nights each month and hit up a different discounted place each time. 
 
3. Try Each Other's Interests
Whatever hobby your significant other enjoys, make an effort to participate with him or her. Not only does it show your spouse that he or she is a priority but you may even find a new pastime that you enjoy!
 
You might discover that you both work really well together at a certain hobby. If this is the case, a fantastic way to share each other's interests, spend time together and pad your income is by starting a company together. Online articles provide overviews of what steps are needed to start a business.
 
No matter what product or service you sell, be sure to market your company. While commercials and print advertisements are a great way to target your local area, social media is a wonderful way to market to a broader pool of consumers. Create an attractive website for this online traffic.
 
A striking infographic on your website increased brand awareness for your business. While a graphic designer provides a professional touch, you can save money when you design custom infographics using a free online tool. Once you choose a template, make it your own by adding a background, text, colors, and design elements.
 
4. Revamp Your Home
Between the two of you, there is probably a good amount of stuff accumulated over the years. Before moving everything into your new home, decide what each of you will keep and get rid of.
 
Once completed, walk through your home together to determine what furniture goes where; keep in mind a smooth flow and open walkways make for a safer and easier transition from room to room. If one of you has trouble with stairs, consider installing an electric chair on the stairs or moving your primary living quarters to the main floor.
 
No matter how long you and your significant other have been together, a wedding during your golden years makes this time of your life even more spectacular. Follow these four tips to help your marriage thrive and stay strong.
