Emotional divorce, characterized by a gradual decline in emotional intimacy, connection, and affection between spouses, may be influenced by a variety of factors related to the transition of children from home. Some researchers believe that the departure of children can act as a catalyst for increased emotional intimacy between couples, as they are given more opportunities to focus on their relationship without the demands of parenting. In contrast, others argue that the transition may exacerbate existing relationship tensions and lead to an escalation of emotional rupture or divorce. Overall, the impact of children leaving home on a couple’s emotional relationship appears to depend on individual circumstances, the quality of the marital relationship prior to the transition, and the couple’s mutual adjustment.
