Congrats on 36 years! That’s quite an accomplishment.

We’re coming up for 36 years marriage next month and he’s still my favourite person. The kids are important, but we’re such a small part of their world now that they have marriages of their own. I love that my husband and I are very different people but we’re still in love and we still like each other after all this time – vive la difference!

Molly, I’m not quite sure how to respond to this. You’re already aware of the physiological changes that menopause brings that impact our libidos so there’s no need for me to discuss that. My second thought was that there are always two people in a relationship and as long as the changes or new “rules” are fine with both people then it’s no one else’s business. Hopefully your hubby is fine with the fact that you no longer want to have sex and he’s not disappointed at this turn in the relationship. My final thought was that sex, wine, and chocolate are the things that make life worth living and that each person has to decide for themselves what are the markers of a quality life. Hopefully those markers will be the same (or very similar) for each person in any marriage. Thoughts anyone?

Sounds awesome! Every couple needs something that is “theirs” and is a celebration of their relationship.

He’s my best friend and I love nothing more than a great date night…I just don’t want to have sex with him…signed Menopausal Molly!

After cooking all week, I am ready for someone else to do the cooking and after working all week I am ready for a relaxing drink. We always go out to eat, often to a new restaurant that we’ve not tried before. And then once in a while, we will go dancing afterwards. THATS our special date. Dancing. One of the first times we met (not the actual first meeting but the first time we met and started paying some attention to each other) was the last night at a work conference and there was a dance after dinner. Neither of us had danced as youngsters, but we did that night and discovered that we liked it! We’ve been dancing ever since. Even took some lessons.
Great advice Shelley.
