A married woman of 33 years said "It's important to build a good relationship with your spouse so that when the children leave, you have the underlying joy of focusing on each other and not your adult children."
I know that talking to many couples that have had older children leave the house, they have said that it is hard to know what to do after a while, because you are use to waiting on your children hand and foot. They also say that it is hard to get use to having nothing to do except relax and pamper yourself, until the grandkids come! ;)
Retirement: "People need to prepare emotionally for retirement", advises one who has experienced this stage of life. "People planning to retire need to retire to something." not just from something, because "adjusting to less money and being home all the time is a real change."
I know that this can be a real challenge to us, my grandma when she retired served a mission in Siberia Russia, and then was busy watching her grandkids, so she had no time to sit and be bored. I feel that that is the way that it should be, we need to keep ourselves busy.
