Empty nest marriage tune up and a bucket list band E147

We went into a Marriage conference this weekend thinking we didn’t really need it. Decades of marriage will do that to you. That assumption got proven wrong fast, especially in a breakout session on Parenting adult children. Then we capped the weekend off with something completely impulsive that had nothing to do with marriage advice and everything to do with a nineteen dollar ticket.

If you want to look into your own Love languages, and how they change over time, that’s the book we keep coming back to: The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts by Gary Chapman https://amzn.to/3Rhf00d (Amazon affiliate link)

Catch the episode mentioned in today’s show 🎸I Want to See Them Before One Of Them Dies – E22 https://youtu.be/YG601NqlgW4

Rick Denton The Loud Quiet

Rick & Clancy have been enjoying life together for 28 years...married for 24. Starting August 2023, they now have two college aged kiddos and are about to enter a new phase of life. The house is quieter than before...it's a loud quiet, indeed. Join them as they laugh, cry and yes, probably argue while trying to figure out how to live the empty nest - new adventures / challenges await!
