"When your major identity is no longer 'parent,' you may struggle to know exactly who you are. In the past your social life centered around your children's activities; now you may struggle just to be a couple again. Or perhaps you're no longer sure you know (or even like) that other bird in the nest. But there is hope."Surveys have shown that marital satisfaction increases when a husband and wife make a conscious effort to reconnect with each other after the kids are gone. Rather than filling time with more and different activities, spend time doing things together. Getting to know each other again takes time and may feel awkward in the beginning, but it really can be like a "second honeymoon." Source: LifeWay
