What Happens When the Kids Are Gone?

When you’re raising kids, focusing on them and their needs and activities can consume your relationship, particularly if you aren’t careful to prioritize one another. If you and your spouse spent decades raising your family and not putting your relationship before the kids, what do you do when the time comes to be alone again?

You may have envisioned and planned for this time years ago, but the sudden reality doesn’t quite match your expectations. Pouring yourself into parenting seemed like the right thing to do, but it came at the expense of your marriage.

Can you start anew?

Just because you’ve reached your golden years doesn’t mean that marriage is going to be easier. Many couples question how they can find each other and fall in love all over again in this new season of marriage.

The good news is that you can choose to start anew with your spouse, but it’s going to require some work on your part. A great marriage doesn’t just appear overnight. Relationships need intentional time and a commitment to work through the issues that slowly developed over the years.

Working it out

God intended marriage to last a lifetime, but that doesn’t mean that it will come easily for either of you. On the contrary, you’ll need to learn (and sometimes relearn) important skills that are essential for every relationship.
