"Younger Women/Older Men"
To New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman during a poltical fund raiser at Beliza's home. |
It should be simple. Man and woman meet, fall in love, make a commitment, live happily ever after. But life is rarely that simple, especially when the man is ten, fifteen, twenty, or more years older than the woman.
Suddenly, there are stepchildren older than the bride, mothers-and fathers-in-law younger than the groom, wives of his friends threatened by the young thing that's entered their social circle. What began as a loving, wonderful relationship gets bogged down in jealousies and prejudices-"She must be a gold digger." "What's wrong with that cradle robber?" "Home wrecker!" |
|
It is possible to maneuver through the minefield of the May-December relationship and come out happier and more in love than ever. Beliza Ann Furman knows. Married twenty-eight years to a man fifteen years her senior, she suffered taunts, the first wife's vindictiveness, the slights, and emerged stronger for them. She's become a spokesperson for younger women-older men, having appeared on national TV programs such as "Oprah," "Regis and Kathie Lee," "Geraldo," "Maury," and "Donohue." |
|
In 1988, she founded the international self-help network Wives of Older Men-W.O.O.M. Currently, she has organized a network directory that introduces May-December couples from around the world to each other. To be included in the directory, couples may send $50.00 (US only) payable to WOOM. After completing a profile and waiver, they are able to meet other couples via fax, E-mail, telephone, or in person. |

The practical and sound advice Beliza offers in Younger Women/Older Men is based on her own experiences, those of W.O.O.M. subscribers, and that of many psychiatrists who have counseled couples. Contact W.O.O.M. regarding professional listings and profiles. |

In "Younger Women/Older Men," Beliza pulls no punches as she discusses financial agreements, how to get along with stepchildren, his reluctance to have a baby, dealing with power and control issues, being a young widow.
If Princess Diana had read this book, her "fairy tale" marriage would have had a happier ending-or she may never have married her prince in the first place. "Younger Women/Older Men" offers reasons why you have that option. |
