Dotsie, it's a sign of a great marriage, when a couple has given each other the right to have differing interests. I once knew a man who told his wife, 'I want you to be interested in only that in which I'm interested', now you know that marriage was doomed!

An empty nest just gives a couple the luxury of more time to indulge in their shared, and individual interests, and pastimes, and the time to develop new ones. It really can be a fantastic time of life.
