Lives and life

Is it possible to use both life and lives in this sentence?

No one wants to do that for the rest of their life/lives.

Hi. You need to use "life" in that context. You are talking about an individual's life.

Yes, that is what I though. Thanks teacher. And it is correct to use their instead of his/her, right?
