Ah, it’s finally here! Kids have moved out and doing their own
thing. You knew this time would
come. All your ideas to renovate the house,
go on long overdue trips, relax and enjoy the house without interruptions! Yes!
It’s now ‘our time’.
You've been together for over 25 years!
Gone through all the ups and downs of raising your children. Worked so hard to give your kids the best
education and opportunities possible.
But who’s that person sitting across from
you at the kitchen table? Their face is
familiar, so is their routine. For over
25 years you've lived with this person. But
do you really know your partner? Not
really.
How could this have happened? How can you live with someone for so long,
and when it’s just you two sitting at home – you haven't a clue what to
say?
Where did your relationship go? Often we get so focused on the details of
living, raising a family, preparing the kids for life, that we forget to put
quality energy into our marriage relationship.
At the end of our work day we’re cooking, driving the kids to their
after school events, helping them with homework, laundry (and the list goes on)
we were just too tired to even notice that we didn't spend quality time with
each other.
You stopped talking about what was
important to ‘us’. In fact, there is no
‘us’. You forgot to safeguard your
relationship. You stopped sharing your dreams, or even having them! You stopped talking, sharing and having fun
together.
So here you are. Sitting across from your long-time partner
with nothing to say. Worse yet, no idea
how to begin. But begin you must,
because you want this time in your life to be exceptional! You both worked so hard to get to this
point.
Yes, it’s that empty nest syndrome. Never thought it would happen to you, but it
has.
So what should you do? How do you proceed? You’ve taken the most productive step forward
by searching for help.
I understand what you're experiencing and I
will help you and your partner reconnect emotionally. It’ll be better than dating!
