knowledge is power go on some site (IVillage.com/menopause) and get some real facts about what is menopause then be open to talk with her...make sure you convince her to get check by her doctor.
Menopause is not only a physical change but for most women it comes at a time when they re-evaluate their life, relationships and marriage. An hormonal change and/or imbalance can bring a lot of emotions and unresolved issues in their life.. it is critical that you be a good listener to her and work together...right now she need you more than ever!

HELLO XAN,
you are the sweetest man to ask this kind of question.......my menopause caused me to become a raving, raging, crazy person. i finally had to be put on anti-depressants( 3 different kinds). i started my menopause, just like my mom, at age 38 and went all the way to 52.= let me tell you.....i have the most patient and understanding husband in the whole world.......he really took alot of abuse from me, and i feel so guilty about all that i put him thru....and some women have a really easy time during their menopausal years(they are soooo lucky)....i am 59 right now and am soooo mellow i can't believe it is me.
the advice i offer you is to be very patient and understanding with her and also let her know that you are sympathetic to her plight.
give her backrubs, tell her she is beautiful, love her and be there for her when she needs you....and sometimes she may need time to herself....you just have to go with the flow...it doesn't last forever....that is the light at the end of the tunnel......i want to wish you both the very best of luck and may God bless and keep you safe and happy forever.........................luv,sweetness#1

Well you cant do much actually!!!!
First thing ....Be by her side always....and dont take anything she does in anger or irritability....seriously....during this period be very understanding......
N ya dont ask her too many questions....it will irritate her more...
But be sure to ask her if she is feeling discomfort or what he can do......but never ask too many questions or be too poky.
Ya and one thing....I dont know how many people know this but it is true.....During menopause some women get extremely horny... and get desperate to have sex with someone thinking that this will lessen her discomfort.....
So be on her side......and whenever she wants to be loved....give it.
But this does not happen to everyone.

Menopause is a very difficult period for women. There are special clinics in many countires for menopause, they can give her hormonal replacement therapies and psychological support. You can only bring her to one of them, support her, stay cool.

there is not any longer something that "occurs" to adult men whilst women flow via menopause...in line with hazard the guy is in simple terms having his mid-existence disaster on a similar time...i've got under no circumstances heard of adult men turning out to be insecure approximately their marriages whilst their better halves have been having warm flashes, peculiar classes, temper swings, etc (it fairly is not like the ladies frequently substitute into extra effective on a similar time as they are dealing with "the substitute")...

You are the world's greatest husband just for asking this question. But as in most cases with women's hormones, it is probably safer to keep at a safe distance because whatever you do will be wrong. Do anything she wants IMMEDIATELY without question!

How nice to find a man who sympathises with his wife's discomfort during this period of her life! That in itself will help her, but if you also do a bit of research to find out what symptoms she may experience and how to alleviate the discomfort that will help even more. Patience and understanding will be welcome, as will the occasional compliment on her appearance!

Major psychiatric medication--for you, not her. And developing an interest in going fishing wouldn't hurt, either.
