It is not like couples who marry die simultaneously anyway. It is quite common for one of them to die before the other one leaving the other alone for a decade or three.
It seems to be the way these days that people marry for a decade or two, have kids and then move onto someone else (and then someone else), serial monogamy has become the norm for many.
I know 60+ guys still getting plenty of action with females decades younger than them, but a lot of that is because of their alpha lifestyle.
It seems to me very few couples these days have what it takes to make this marriage thing, as in "death do us part" work, when this bond is not so firmly entrenched in society anymore. Most people I come across seem to need to be different relationships at different phases of their life.
Also, I think as you grow older, it all ceases to be so much about "sex" (reproduction) and for many becomes more about growing and learning about yourself through the medium of a relationship.
