I have been married 7 years and love my wife very much. How do I help her go through menopause? I have started getting educated on what menopause is and try to understand what she is going through. Is there other things I ca do?

You're wife is very fortunate to have you. You are doing a good thing by educating yourself on the topic and learning what you can. That will help. There are too many people out there who don't know what to do and part of the problem is that they don't know what they're dealing with. Another important thing is to just support her. It's not an easy time but be kind and understanding. Sometimes women just need to cry even if they don't know why. Try to be patient with her if you find yourself not understanding.

Educating yourself is great. Menopause is not fun for any woman. It will be tough and emotional. Love her like u always have. If she needs to cry and vent to someone be that person. If she wants to be alone let her be alone. If she is not feeling well help her more. Be glad u are a man and don't have to go through menopause. She may have mood swings and say things she don't mean but she will still love u.

Just be very supportive of her. She will go through very emotional times because her hormones are shot into orbit by menopause. Has she seen her doctor for a possible HRT? This would help with some of her symptoms, but it is by no means a cure. If she feels the need to cry, lend her your shoulder. If she gets angry (and it will happen), just let her rage herself out, because the anger will wane and it most likely has nothing to do with you...just don't fuss back, I know, because I am in the same situation and hubs does fuss back and that only makes it worse. Just be there for her.

Menopause is a stage in life when a woman stops having her monthly period.It is a normal part of aging, marking the end of a woman's reproductive years.Get enough calcium. A woman going through menopause needs 1000 mg to 1500 mg of calcium a day. Avoid excessive amounts of salt to reduce bloating associated with hormonal changes.

Great guy!
You can be supportive and understanding, but it is also valuable to give her feedback when her emotional reactions are overblown (carefully!!). It can help her get a grip, realize it's the hormones and not really the 'thing' she perceives as upsetting, and that might help her to let it go instead of escalating out of control. You two can agree ahead of time on what you will say when you think her perspective is clouded by hormone hell.
Also, don't complain about the room being too cold if she cranks up the AC or throws open a window in winter. Keep a sweater nearby!
Lastly, make sure she feels sexy and wanted. She's not losing her womanhood or her sexuality.
Good luck to both of you!

You have already done one of the best things and that is to educate yourself and be understanding of her condition. I would suggest that you make sure she see her doctor and to be careful of any hormone replacement therapy that may be offered to her. Just hang in there, remember it doesnt last forever! (Although it may seem like it does)
