Amanda,
Age means nothing. You can find love at any age. I do however think you are questioning whether to stay in your marriage because you fear not being able to find love again. You need a partner, if you will. I think a long term marriage makes it difficult for us to see ourselves without a partner in our lives.
My coworker is 56 and was married for 27 years when her husband came home and told her he was done with the marriage. They have no children and she thought they were each others "rock". Apparently his "rock" was a 32 year old 3 time divorced woman who cheated on all her husbands. She was devastated beyond belief. She tried so hard to make things work but was smart enough to realize she cannot do all the lifting. She agreed to the divorce.
She waited 3 years before even considering dating again and then as if fate happened, she met him at a church she recently joined. He was also abandoned by his wife. They hit it off.
He is 57 and she 56. They are getting married Christmas Eve in a small, candlelight ceremony. When you see the two of them together, nothing in the past matters. They found each other and they are perfect. Moral of the story, love comes at all ages. You never know who is out there.
