When our son went away to college in Sydney Australia in 2019, we were left with just ourselves. There were no sports games, or youth services to distract us from the fractures that had been cracking all around us in our marriage. We had started our marriage believing that the two would become one, but we were now living two separate lives. Years of miscommunication and neglect had caught up with us. What we had been avoiding was now the elephant in the room with us. This was mid-life, and to be honest it kind of sucked!

Resentment, abandonment, feelings of unworthiness, and not feeling respected were just some of the suppressed feelings we were both experiencing.

When the world shut down in 2020 we were forced to face all that we had not been dealing with in our marriage. We discovered the key to reigniting our relationship and began to build “us” back together.

We made a plan and are now living the benefits having learned how to master our marriage in midlife! Communication is key, and our connection has brought fire back into our intimacy! We have learned to live as the power couple we always knew we were, but had no idea how to be!
