Jill Savage, author of Empty Nest, Full Life and marriage expert, shares her insights on the hidden gaps that often appear in midlife marriages, particularly during the transition to an empty nest. As couples navigate this new chapter, they can feel disconnected, emotionally distant, and even lost in the face of years of focusing on parenting. Jill discusses how these emotional gaps form and offers practical advice on rebuilding intimacy and communication.
Jill shares candidly about her own journey, from facing disillusionment and unrealistic expectations in her marriage to rebuilding it stronger after a difficult crisis. Through this conversation, she highlights the importance of adjusting expectations, nurturing emotional connection, and improving communication—tools that can help couples reconnect and heal.
