In this short video, the speaker highlights the sharp rise in "gray divorce" rates in the United States—more than doubling since the 1990s—attributing it to the complex pressures of midlife, such as career, parenting, and caregiving responsibilities. Citing a New York Times list, the speaker introduces the first three of six reflective questions couples can use to reassess and strengthen their relationship: (1) "What's our next chapter?" – prompting partners to envision a shared future beyond the routine of long‑term partnership; (2) "What are we role‑modeling for our kids?" – encouraging awareness of the example set for children, even adult ones; and (3) "How do I contribute to our problems?" – fostering personal accountability within the partnership. The segment ends with an invitation to return for the remaining three questions.
