“Help! I’m Having a Midlife Marriage!”

The hard part is staying in love – that is, keeping intimacy alive, even growing closer – through the years. – Dr. Georgia Witkin

We’ll never forget the day we dropped our youngest son, Jonathan, off at college. It was a beautiful, crisp day in Wheaton, Illinois. All of Jonathan’s boxes and plastic garbage bags fill of clothes, and most of his earthly possessions, were safely in his freshman dormitory room.

As we said our farewells, Jonathan looked so young and vulnerable, but we knew he was ready to face the academic and social challenges that college was sure to present. We weren’t so sure about ourselves and the challenges waiting for us. Slowly we got into our car, backed out of the parking lot, and waved out last good-byes. As we turned out of the Wheaton College campus and began the ten-hour trip back to Knoxville, Tennessee, we knew we were entering uncharted waters.

At last we were entering the “empty nest” stage of family life. Jonathan’s flight from the nest was preceded by those of his two older brothers, who were already married and on their own. Suddenly it was just the two of us.
