Answer 1

Answer:A) Typical

Explanation:

People always say the first few years are like honey moon of course because the couples are still enjoying their first time permanently together or without kids at first in most cases.

Years goes by and they start to have kids and responsibilities start to pile up as they struggle with bills and raising kids .

The focus starts to shift from the two of them to focus more on raising kids.

They have to raise kids , discipline them, split responsibility , save for college ,attend to their kids individual in whatever activity their kids get involved in hence their solo time ends.

When the kids go to College they can then go back to having their own time with undivided attention because the kids are no longer at home .

This is the situation that almost everyone goes through ;it's a typical situation that most people face.
