When kids leave home, it doesn’t just change your daily routine - it changes your marriage. The empty nest can bring unexpected distance, conflict, or even silence, but it can also be a season of rediscovery and renewal.

You’ll hear why so many couples struggle in this stage, how to avoid common pitfalls, and practical ways to reconnect and rediscover fun with your spouse. If you’re in or approaching the empty nest, this conversation will help you see the opportunity hidden in the challenge.
