Wrong Title:

"Empty Nesting: Reinventing Your Marriage When the Kids Leave Home",
I bought this book in hopes it would help with empty nesting (which should not even be part of the title), it is only about helping your marriage after your child(ren) leave home.

Just the two of us again:

Although we are an empty nest couple, it doesn't seem that way with the pets we inherited from the kids when they moved out. We have 3 cats, 1 dog and an iguana to keep us busy now. I think the kids were easier to raise!

This great book isn't just for couples who have a truly empty nest. Many midlife couples today find that their nests get refilled with boomerang adult kids, aging parents, visits from kids and grandkids, or grandkids on a full time basis.

I liked the section on how to learn about the... more info
