Dear Queenie,
My husband and I have been married for more than 20 years and have never been apart for all that time. Our children are about to go away to college and I am afraid that it is raising the children that has kept us together and with them gone away we won’t have anything else to keep us together.
Queenie, will this be the end of our marriage?—Worried wife
Dear Wife,
It is true that some couples suffer “empty nest syndrome” when their children have all gone out on their own, but on the other hand, this can also be the best time in your marriage.
Now you have a chance to take a romantic vacation and to find interests that do not involve your children, like club memberships, hobbies and/or classes that you can take together – or separately.
Go forth and enjoy!
