Do you believe that once the nest (kids moving out) is empty, the marriage gets better?

Yes. Kids hinder any relationship. You can't show as much love to your partner because you have to waste all your time on the kid. And yes...I said 'waste'......
-
In many cases, that has happened, according to some accounts I have read. +5

I believe that is the case sometimes. Or it may be that you will realize that without the kids to talk about you have grown far apart and have nothing in common anymore.
-
I think a lot of the time it gets worse(or better if you look at it a different way) cause the parents don't have a major reason to stay together.
-
Yes and no. No, because you really miss your children and all the activities associated with them. Yes, because my wife and i can now center our time on each other once again. its like dating all over again. we go places, see things and can truly enjoy each others company again. For once in many years, if i want to run nude in my house i can.
-
Yes and No. No because you don't have your children around all the time and their friends calling/phoning. Yes because you and your partner can have 'me' time. Going back to when you were first together, having 'silly moments' together.

Not sure. I'll let you know in about 15 years.

The biggest pay raise (except after I left the Navy) in my life happened when my youngest daughter left. We used some of the extra money to by a time share in Orlando. It turns out that amusement parks are a lot of fun without the kids. We miss them and want them to visit but after two weeks we're ready for the to leave again. We also had sex in parts of the house were we couldn't when the kid were home. Yes, less pressure, less noise, our marriage got better.
