Speaking about the film, he said: “One of the things that I first started to explore in the script was the idea of, ‘How do you define yourself when you’re no longer as a parent in the same way, when it’s all about children 24/7?’ Then I thought, ‘How does a couple look at their marriage and redefine their marriage after the big job is lifted?’ It’s like a shark, if it doesn’t move forward, it dies. So how do you replace raising children in your marriage to make sure it continues to grow. So those were all really fun things to explore as a writer .”
