Midlife and Marriage

My daughter recently sent me an Instagram Reel about menopause.

I died laughing!

Melani Sanders (@justbeingmelani) hosts the wildly popular We Do Not Care Club for women in midlife who have been totally destabilized by the impacts of menopause.

Millions have joined.

Her solution?

Do not care about anything!

She is creating a movement, normalizing the crazy changes during this strange time of life, and helping women laugh at the hilarity of it all.

Check it out. I think you will get a good laugh whether it’s you, your wife, or your mom.

We call this midlife stage Puberty 2.0.

• Body changes.

• Confidence depletion.

• Identity shifts.

• Emotional meltdowns.

And all that can impact your marriage!

We see a skyrocketing number of Gray Divorces in those 50+.

We are here to advocate for you to not adopt the We Do Not Care mindset when it comes to your marriage!

So how can you keep your marriage together during a time many people are exiting the relationship that was supposed to be “til death do you part.”

This week on Marriage iQ we have partnered with Dr. Sue McCreadie, medical doctor, wife, mama, and midlife woman who believes that this stage of life can actually be amazing and filled with opportunities for growth!

In this episode we discuss parenting, hormones, stages of love, and what we need to connect more deeply in marriage.

Tune in to learn how to turn stress about midlife into peace and possibilities!

Action Tip:
