I'll agree that that happens, and it's an ideal to hope for. But you're talking about a minority of couples. Let's put things in perspective. First off, half of all married couples end up divorced long before they "become older and less self-focused and more nurturing". And I dare say that only about half of those who remain married long enough to become older have well-matched sex drives which are also more nurturing etc.

Unless you count people who divorce and find a partner who sexually matches them. In which case I guess you could say the news is good by definition. Even people who hate sex can meet up and by happy forever after in their celibate marriages.
