“Let Life In” (www.LetLifein.com), the online magazine and social network for people 50plus, asks readers to discuss and decide the fate of a ‘miserable marriage’ of 28 years.

July 13, 2007 -- "Let Life In" (www.LetLifeIn.com) continues to separate itself from other media directed to the 50+ audience by presenting life as we get older as it really is -- without the B.S. This week, a one-sided no-holds-barred article titled, ‘Making the Most of a Miserable Marriage: Is it worth it?’ asks readers what they would do after 28 years -- stay in the marriage and suffer or get out?

“We like to get our readers to voice their opinions—to participate in discussions on controversial topics,” says Gary Geyer, the Editor-in-Chief. “We found that people over 50 think about a lot of other things besides their grandchildren, social security and arthritis. That’s all part of letting life in.”

Geyer adds, “Our philosophy at Let Life in (www.letLifeIn.com) is that life is great—but not always. There’s the good, the bad and the ugly. Let Life In is about experiencing the full spectrum of life -- not just the good stuff. At 50+, we have been around long enough to know what real life is and, believe me, we can handle it.”

The ‘miserable marriage’ article is a good example. The writer takes us through one situation that will very likely get you angry and force you to take sides. However, the article is written from the man’s point of view which means we don’t get to know her side of the story.

The benefits of inviting readers to comment and interact with one another in the Let Life In discussion groups (The Conversation Pit) are evident and can be very revealing.

“Let’s face it, after 50 we don’t all live happily ever after. Some of us do, but certainly not all of us,” adds Geyer. Recent LetLifeIn.com articles have addressed such topics as alcoholism in retirement, assisted suicide, the stress of trying to look young, cheating, homophobia in retirement communities and the sexual secrets of a Gigolo, to name but a few.

“That’s not to say we don’t write about the fun part of being 50plus too. We have posted some great articles on adventure travel, 50+ celebrities, 50+ achievers, humor, brain squeezers, sex quizzes, advice, being healthy, feeling good and a cartoon of the day,” says Geyer.

Geyer goes on to say, “Our name and rallying cry, "Let Life In" reflects a positive attitude about being 50+. “Let Life In” is not a religion –it’s an attitude. It is not about happy or sad or plus or minus. “Let Life In” is about all of it. We believe that when you truly let life in, you will experience all of it.”
