Question for a marriage counselor Do you think it's wise for a couple to talk about the changes their relationship is going through—including talking about how the woman is changing during menopause?


Marriage Counselors reply
Talking must occur. That is the fuel or the relationship. If you don't tell him what is going on inside of you, he interprets it as lack of love or lack of interest. You need to let him know what is happening. Otherwise there are so many unnecessary misunderstandings and misfires. I find that many of couples' fights were simply misunderstandings and they argue over a lifetime about something that never even happened.
