The house is quieter now. The bedrooms have emptied, there is more space in your home, and in your days. How can God use this extra margin and fill the space with His purpose and presence?
In A Little More Room for Us, Charlotte and Gordy Guest walk alongside you as fellow empty-nesters who understand this tender, surprising season. With warmth and honesty, they help you see empty nesting not as an ending, but as a fresh invitation to invest in God's kingdom in rejuvenating new ways.
This couples devotional gently answers the questions on your heart:
“What does it look like to entrust my adult children to the Lord?”
“What is my purpose now that my children are grown?”
“How can I rely on God in this new chapter?”
“How can I deepen my relationship with my spouse?”
“Friends, God is doing something brand new in our empty nests. There can be much new growth and joy if we let Him has His way in our lives.”
What People Are Saying
“One of the least developed areas for couples is spiritual intimacy. When you are in the empty nest season, it gives you a chance to reinvent your relationship and focus on God. Charlotte and Gordy Guest have done a wonderful job helping empty nest couples draw closer to God and to each other in this beautiful book. We encourage you to read this book together and rekindle your faith together as a couple.”

"The empty nest can feel like a season with more questions than answers, but Charlotte and Gordy Guest meet you right there, with warmth and wisdom. This devotional doesn't just acknowledge the ache of a quieter house; it reframes this chapter as an invitation to deeper purpose, deeper faith, and a deeper marriage. It is a generous, hope-filled companion for any couple stepping into this new season."

“As marriage counselors for many years, we have seen many couples struggle as they enter the empty nest stage of life. They have spent so many years putting their energy into the busy life of raising children that they find they have disconnected as a couple. They didn’t mean to disconnect; it just happened. They wonder how to find their way back to each other and how to live a good godly life now that the kids are gone.
A Little More Room for Us is an excellent, practical, and realistic tool to help couples reconnect each day over short encouraging messages.
We have found that just a few minutes a day of this type of connection can help couples pull together spiritually and relationally and thrive during this unique season of life.
Thank you, Charlotte and Gordy, for this great tool!”
“A Little More Room for Us is a thoughtful and encouraging devotional for anyone entering or navigating the empty nest season. The authors offer wisdom and encouragement grounded in Scripture, reminding us that when our children grow up and life changes, God still has a purpose and calling for us.
We especially appreciated the encouragement to draw closer to Jesus, nurture our relationships with each other, continue investing in our children and grandchildren, and look for meaningful ways to serve and pour into our churches and communities. The book is a beautiful reminder that the empty nest is not the end of our influence. It can be the beginning of a new and fruitful chapter as we intentionally seek God's direction for our lives.
The book is thoughtfully designed and beautifully produced. After the 100 devotions, readers will find meaningful questions and practical lists that encourage further reflection and help them explore the mission God may have for them in this next season of life.
A Little More Room for Us is a meaningful read for anyone navigating this transition and would be a thoughtful gift for a friend or loved one entering this new chapter of life.”
