The kids are in college, the house is quiet, and suddenly you realize: "I don't know my partner anymore." You did everything right—the careers, the house, the parenting—so why does your marriage feel so distant and fragile now?This phenomenon, often called Gray Divorce, happens when the shared purpose of the marriage becomes exclusively focused on the children. Once that central focus is gone, the lack of an emotional bond is painfully visible.In this episode of Rich in Relationship, Rich Heller explains:- How couples "meander" apart when they only focus on individual success and parenting, leading to a loss of identity and fulfillment.- Why men, who tend to be more emotionally "thick," need to lead the process of becoming emotionally literate and fluent.- How to treat the empty nest not as a crisis, but as a Renaissance—an opportunity to reinvent your partnership.You can reinvent yourselves within the marriage. It begins with trusting the person you married is still there, ready to grow with you.Ready to rebuild your relationship for the next chapter?
