The Partner Playbook: Menopause Support for Husbands and Partners

Learn how to support your partner through menopause and make your relationship stronger.

Take our masterclass for husbands and partners and learn what menopause really is, how it affects her body and brain, and what you can do to support her. Menopause can be a particularly challenging time for couples: while the physical, mental, and emotional symptoms of menopause can be overwhelming for her, they can also be confusing and frustrating for the men
who love them. The Partner Playbook helps you understand what she’s going through and gives you practical tools to support your partner—and yourself.

More men are speaking up about how important it is to understand menopause and support their partners through it.

When rock star Rod Stewart’s wife Penny went through menopause, he explained that if education around menopause was better he would have felt more prepared to support her. When asked if he thought that this could be achieved through menopause classes for men, he said, “Absolutely – it’s a very good way to go. Men have got to get on with it, understand and come out the other end.”

Is her behavior changing right before your eyes?

For many women, menopause can feel like an emotional and physical rollercoaster, with hot
flashes, night sweats, lack of sleep, and fatigue all stacking on top of everyday life. Learning more about common menopause symptoms helps you understand why she may be more irritable, emotional, withdrawn, or exhausted than usual—and why it is not “just in her head.”

Don’t let menopause symptoms catch you off guard.

When it comes to symptoms like irritability, anxiety, depression, rage, disturbed sleep,
headaches, brain fog, joint pain, and changes in your sex life, it’s easy for tension and
misunderstanding to build up. In The Partner Playbook, we share answers and advice to help you keep your relationship strong, intimate, and fulfilling while your partner navigates menopause.

Be proactive. Understanding menopause is smart for all men over 45.

Taking the initiative to learn about menopause shows your partner how much you care—and makes your own life easier. When you understand what’s happening, you can respond with empathy instead of defensiveness, offer practical support, and avoid saying things that unintentionally hurt or dismiss her experience.

Research suggests that 60% of divorces are initiated by women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s—the menopause years—and 73% of women in one survey blamed menopause for the breakdown of their marriage. These numbers highlight just how important it is for couples to get support and better communication during this time.

What Men and Couples Are Saying

“My wife and I were struggling at home. Communication was zero. I was clueless on what happened to the woman I married. The men’s class helped me understand what she was going through and how to be a better and more supportive partner.”

“My husband told me he thought I was losing my mind. I signed him up for Mansplaining Menopause from the Menopause Education Center. I think it saved our marriage.”
