Dave and Ashley Willis say empty nesting doesn't have to be scary. Many couples dread it because they built their whole identity around parenting and grew distant from each other. The real opportunity is rediscovering who you are as a couple and as individuals.

If you build your marriage all the way through the.
Journey of parenting, then.
Once you reach that empty nest, it should be a time of.
Celebration, a.
Time of renewal. And yet, so many couples, they've focused, I think, so much on the kids that they've drifted apart.
Through those parenting years.
And then the empty nest is something that terrifies them because their whole identity.
Has been wrapped up in parenting, and.
They don't know who they are as husband and wife or even sometimes as.
An individual without having a kid in.
The home dependent on them.
I think it's gonna look different for everyone. I think that there's no one size fits all. And I think what one of the biggest things you can do as a married couple is say, you know what? What do we want life to look like in this season that is going to benefit our marriage the most? Because this is a season where you can be laser focused on your marriage. It doesn't mean that you're not concerned with your kids, but it's not to the same degree.
