People do grow and change over time and couples don't always grow together, sometimes they grow apart. People grow and change sexually as well.(April 4, 2013 at 3:41 pm)festive1 Wrote: I've recently been witness to several empty-nester divorces, not in relation to golfing, but once the kids left home, the couples faced spending the rest of their lives with a person they had grown apart from.Yeah, that happens. Not sure what it's got to do with this thread.
In keeping with the sexiness of the thread: I know many couples that have had sexual incompatibility issues post-kids. It's difficult to switch from mommy or daddy mode, to sexy-time mode. A woman's hormone changes post-kids can change her libido. A man can find a post-baby body unappealing. Amongst other things. If left unresolved, these sexual issues can ruin a marriage.
