Over the years, I have seen three stable, long term marriages with children break up due to menopause causing wives to be hormonally out of whack during menopause. Fortunately, the more common pattern is for couples to deal with menopause with humor and good spirit — and occasional gritted teeth.

It’s not a fun time for anyone in the household. The wife needs to realize she is being unreasonable and *itchy at times and the husband needs to understand she just can’t help it. (And also agree to keep the bedroom thermostat at about 55 at night). A little bit of understanding on both sides can help a couple get through it.
