I guess, but I don't know, maybe dads handle it differently. They've missed their children, yet they seem to be handling it better. They don't have that loss of purpose that a mom has because now things are changing. In the future generations, you're seeing more dads. You're seeing more families because of the financial issues in the world with daycare.

More families sit down and say, okay, who makes more sense to stay home, the mom or the dad? Which parent should stay home? So there are more families. stay-at-home dads, work-from-home dads, and more fathers since the pandemic are working remotely from home, so are taking a much more active role in the day-to-day activity of their children.

So I'm curious to see as generations go on, my feeling for dads are that they miss their children, and yet they don't have that feeling of disconnectedness that moms have, and they don't have the same loss of purpose.

So what I have found is that some women share that when the children are removed from the equation, they're left looking at each other, who are we? Who are we as a couple? Who are you? When did you get, because the children have been everything in their world. And there is a way, it doesn't, I think some people get scared that their marriage might fall apart when the kids leave.

If you are a couple that's feeling disconnected with each other or from each other, my friend and a fellow coach who is brilliant at this, she came up with a great tip and I love it.

And it's a shared experience.
