When the last child leaves home, forty-year marriages face their greatest test: two people who've spent decades perfecting the business of co-parenting suddenly sit across from each other at silent dinner tables, realizing they've become polite strangers who must now decide if they'd choose each other again.

There’s a certain type of friendship you only appreciate in your 50s and 60s — the one where you can sit in the same room for an hour without talking and not feel like anything needs to be filled, and the fact that you can be completely unproductive in each other’s company is the exact thing that makes it valuable, because most relationships require performance and this one doesn’t

It took me sixty years to discover that the most profound friendships aren't built on conversation or shared activities, but on the revolutionary act of being boring together—and that sitting in comfortable silence with someone who expects nothing from you might be the most honest relationship you'll ever have.
