It seems that it never rains, but it pours. Over the past couple of weeks we have had two couples separate.

Why? They had forgotten about finding their partner and how much work goes into keep the relationship going.

Well I guess this post is mostly for the Guys. It seems that their wife’s were going through menopause and the husbands were fed up with the way things were at home. So they became infatuated by younger women and started a texting relationship thinking that this will improve their life as a male.

To some extent this is a natural reaction going back to the dark ages. Mother nature is just kicking in some primeval instincts. It also means that they have forgotten the times when they were courting and falling in love with each other. Times when love is blind and the whole world is all rose’s. Then came the times when they married and had to work hard to build their relationship, build a family and progress up through the work ladder,

There can be a lot of strain on any relationship during this time in a woman’s life all through no fault of the woman. In most cases the wife doesn’t realise that she is menopausal and life in the relationship becomes very challenging.

This is going to be a tough time Guys, and you need to be strong. There are several things you can do.

This is a time when your love is going to be tested. You wife is going to wonder what is going on in her life and questioning your relationship, you are going to wonder what is going on and why is she acting this way.
It is a time when the strength of any relationship is tested and it is up to you to be strong enough to weather the storm.

Now for the good news - yes there is plenty of good news!

When life settles back to some sort of normality and you are still together, you are going to find that the love you have for each other is one hundred fold stronger.

This will be the time that your partner has realised what she has been through and now understands why life has been a pain in the butt for the past x months. She is also going to see that you have had the courage to remain by her side when all this was going on.

The best advise we can give to you (each of you) is that the last thing you say to each other is “I Love You” and in the morning again say “I Love You”. This affirms the love you have for each other.

Just think how you would feel, if you had words over breakfast, and your partner walked out the door for work and died in an accident. It is then too late to tell them how much you love them!

Be kind to each other and treat you partner as you would like them to treat you.
