Rediscovering Your Spouse and Your Shared Dreams

While each season has its own beauty and needs, the empty‑nest years can bring both freedom and unexpected challenges. With grown‑up children and quieter homes, many couples find themselves wondering, “Who are we now?”

Our host, Delia, speaks with long‑time married couple Chris and Clarinda about how to nourish your marriage in this new season. After 30 years together, they share how emotional connection shifts as life evolves. Clarinda reflects on the “blurry years” of parenting, when time and energy were stretched thin, while Chris shares how he has been “rediscovering” Clarinda through conversations with their adult daughters.

They openly explore loneliness, differing rhythms and drifting apart, offering simple, hopeful steps to reconnect. This heartfelt episode invites couples to rediscover each other with intention, curiosity and small acts of love that deepen intimacy over time.

You can also listen to Chris and Clarinda as they share, “What Does Nourishing Your Spouse Look Like Through the Seasons?”
