What are some reasons why adults might feel freer as they settle into middle age

Explanation:

Their days of child rearing are likely over. If the kids have turned out well, good. Makes life much easier.

They have accomplished whatever they are going to accomplish by middle age. There are of course exceptions to this. There are people who become involved with something very meaningful in the middle years.

Money for retirement is very important and must be attended to. A husband is particularly worried about this if his wife has done nothing but stay at home. The Bible mentions the Bride of one's youth quite frequently. One must be careful of her welfare. He must take care of her in her old age. If she has worked too -- no problem. She has her own nest egg.
