Easterners or Westerners, I am afraid most of middle

age people are losing their energy and affection to some extent.

But a few of them still hold on. These guys are usually very popular because affection is everyone desires.

I have a business partner who is in his 50th. He speaks to his classmate wife over the phone call every day. His affection seems to be un-exhausted. They discuss many details about life. They share views on daily newspapers, their children's eduction and behavior, and end up with a few minutes of murmuring loving words to each other.

His wife is not a great beauty but an equally energetic and engaging person.

Once I ask him if affection is hereditary?  He said no. He said the couple needed to have a willingness of keeping the affection afresh and then work on it. 

No life is perfect. His eldest son is in a deep depression. His other children have some other issues as well. He told me he is on the brink of collapsing,even though he still looks great.
