What is a “Midlife Marriage”? It’s the season of life that begins after the whirlwind of kids’ soccer practices, dance recitals, and endless extracurriculars comes to an end—when the nest is empty, and it’s just you and your spouse, rediscovering life together.

As parents, it’s natural to focus all your energy on raising your children, and while this journey is so rewarding, it can take a lot out of you. What we have discovered in our coaching and in our own marriage is that, when all of your kids have ventured out on their own, many couples lose the original connection that brought them together. It’s almost as if they have become strangers in the empty nester season of life.

While maneuvering this midlife marriage stage may sound daunting and you might be wondering if you can ever rekindle your love again, we are here to say that there is life and love after kids!

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

• How to build patterns into your marriage that nurture connection
• Ways you can start reigniting the flame
• A template for starting the “midlife marriage” conversation with your spouse
• And much more!

We hope this conversation is helpful to you, whether you’re still in your parenting phase or quickly approaching your midlife marriage!
