I'm starting to think that the Final Exam in "Successful Marriage" isn't really about finances, or in-laws or hormone replacement therapy, like they tell us. Shrinking retirement accounts and itty-bitty-bladder syndrome, we can get through. Male-patterned baldness won't kill us, even if it's mine. I'm starting to think "the test is in the nest." Being members of the "sandwich generation" used to frighten me. You know, the period in a middle-aged couple's life when their kids and their parents are all needy at the same time. But guess what happened while our independent moms neglected to need us? The kids moved out! The "big stuff" really has made us strong over the course of these past 25 years, but it's the "little stuff"-the little people-who've made us fun. We've got a few years left with our youngest son, and we won't be hurrying him from the nest before it's time. But we won't try to stop him when he's fit to fly, either. In the meantime, we've become returning students of each other, Doug and I. We're facing pop quizzes daily, examining the Teacher's text for insight into the coming chapters, and worrying just a little about the unavoidable essay questions. The semester may be just beginning, but we're determined to pass the Empty Nest Test-with "flying" colors.
