## Resource

When the house gets quieter, many couples realize they’ve drifted spiritually. In this special episode, I sit down with my husband, Bob, a pastor and fellow empty nester, to talk honestly about praying together as a couple. We share why praying together matters, why it can feel awkward, and simple ways to begin rebuilding spiritual intimacy in the empty nest.
