What is menopause for a couple?
This entry describes menopause for a couple as the stretch in which one person's cycles end or change, with effects that may include sleep, mood, desire, and how close the other person may come. It notes that the two people can name the change without treating it as the end of the marriage or as a defect.
What this entry does not do
It is not a hormone guide, and it does not say desire must fade or must continue.
