10 | "Why Do I Hate My Husband?" Relationship Advice for Couples Navigating Hormonal Imbalance in Menopause

Hey friend,

On today’s episode, I’m joined once again by my husband of 26 years, Rick, as we continue our special “Love & Hormones” His-and-Her’s Day Spring Series (every other Thursday throughout the month of May.)

Ladies, do you ever have days when you’re angry and irritated for no reason? …

Guys, do you ever have days when you ask yourself, “Why does my wife hate me so much?”

Perimenopause and menopause can be hard on relationships. Even good relationships. Even battle-tested relationships.

According to a recent survey of 1,000 women by The Family Law Menopause Project, 7 out of 10 women who reported experiencing hormonal symptoms blamed menopause for the breakdown of their marriage!!!

But a complete marital apocalypse is NOT inevitable. And one of the best ways to ensure your relationship goes the distance is to understand what your partner is going through. (Cuz’ believe it or not, we ladies need our man’s love and support more now than ever!)

Join Rick and me as we take a deep dive into the emotional side of perimenopause and menopause. In this episode, you will learn:

• The science behind fluctuating hormones, including, “Can hormonal imbalance cause anxiety?”

• The prevalence of mood-related disorders in perimenopause and menopause and how hormonal depression may be showing up in your marriage

• The cause-and-effect relationship between menopause and anger towards husbands

• Why hormonal imbalance can trigger conditions like OCD

• Plus, 6 tips to support your wife emotionally through perimenopause and beyond

Tip: Ladies, listen to this episode all the way through. Then grab your man and listen to it a second time, together.

If you’ve been dealing with the hormotional rollercoaster of perimenopause or menopause in your relationship, you won’t want to miss this episode!
