An empty nest can mean a fuller relationship.
If the thought of an empty nest sends a shiver of anxiety down your spine, you are not alone. Many people find themselves unsure of what to make of their new found independence, once their youngest child moves out of the house and they are living alone with their spouse for the first time in decades. Couples even struggle with what to say or do with their significant partners, now that they are no longer just Mom and Dad.
Here’s how to adjust to an empty nest and rediscover your partner in the process:
1. Don’t over think the awkwardness
2. Take the “glass is half full” approach
3. Find interests you can enjoy together
4. Take a vacation
5. Consider counseling
