Will Your Marriage Be Ok When the Kids Are Gone?

Students go back to college this month and you may find yourself as an “empty nester”. Or there will suddenly be fewer people in the house. How will you deal with this change? Have you thought about the implications for change in your life? Do you have a plan for having more free time? Not only are you “losing” your kids, but you and your partner must adjust to a changed relationship with fewer people (or no kids at all) in the house. The remaining kids in the house also will have a new family dynamic to embrace.
