Raising children to become independent adults is every parent’s task, but there’s an increasing phenomenon of kids who experience a “failure to launch” into their 20s and even 30s. Far too many adult children are not just living off their parents or with their parents, they actually expect it to be that way.

People get engaged and it's just sooooo romantic. Then they get married and ask themselves – what the hell just happened? Because, too often, they didn't spend 2 years getting to know each other.
