If these are the answers you were able to choose from:
A)Parents who live vicariously through their children are less likely to experience empty nest feelings. B)For most parents, marital satisfaction decreases during the years after child rearing. C)Parents who are heavily invested in their children may suffer from a decline in marital satisfaction after children have left home. D)Marital partners have less time for each other with their children gone.
Then the correct answer would be C - parents who are heavily invested in their children may suffer from a decline in marital satisfaction after children have left home. This also makes sense; they've been parents and not husband and wife. For that reason, following the child's departure, they're not sure what to do with themselves.
