The Shocking Info Men Withheld From You
At 9 years old, I loved technology and came across a Radio Shack ad for a control module that could turn on any house light from your bedroom.
I wanted one.
After saving up most of the summer, I went to Radio Shack and bought the control module.
I was ecstatic!
I opened the box and quickly realized I had been misguided.
The control module was only one piece of the puzzle.
Every outlet in the house had to be equipped with a receiver for the system to work.
I was so bummed.
The full system was way out of budget for a 9-year-old.
Why hadn’t the salesmen at Radio Shack informed me?
Why wasn’t the ad clear that upcoming purchases were necessary to use the module?
There were men who sat at your wedding who knew something shocking.
They watched you pledge your love to a woman… and they stayed silent.
You thought you were signing up for a lifetime of romantic intimacy with the exact woman who stood before you.
Maybe these men didn’t want to douse the spark in your eye.
Maybe they thought they were alone in their experience.
Here’s the shocking thing these men knew: Your wife would go through an unavoidable metamorphosis and become a totally different person… Menopause!
I’m calling in an expert to give us the facts straight.
Joining relationship coach Mark Drezga and me in the video below is men’s coach Charlie McKeever.
Take 30 minutes to listen to Charlie’s front-line report of how a man can survive the menopause battlefield as a happy, confident man.
Menopause: What Men Need To Know When She Acts Different
The stages leading up to menopause can be a 10-year span called Perimenopause.
For most women, Perimenopause starts in her mid-40s.
You might be thinking, “So what, her period gets irregular or something?”
Think again.
Remember how much change your body went through during puberty?
Imagine if you knew you had to go through puberty again to undo everything puberty did the first time around…
That’s what it’s like for her.
Every man is well aware of how sensitive and changing a woman’s moods are when she’s on her period…
Underlying issues in your relationship she’s been sweeping under the rug boil out over that time.
Perimenopause is going to call forth your operating standards, boundaries, and self-reliance to your own happiness in ways you may have never been tested before.
She’ll need you to be a confident, emotionally present, calm man not for the weekend…FOR THE LONG HAUL!
Menopause: What To Do About It Right Now
If you feel like your marriage is in the throes of menopause, I encourage you to reach out to Charlie by clicking HERE. He can mentor you through the stages every man must learn to be the unmovable rock in the relationship.
Being a confident man who doesn’t seek his wife’s approval and leads the relationship is the type of man you should be regardless.
Masculine finds purpose in momentum.
We like to see progress, goals reached, and checklists completed.
When we stop using our wife as the framework for our behaviors, choices, affirmations, and progress, a NEW frame is built.
Your NEW frame is created with your own standards for yourself.
Operating to your own standards for yourself (regardless of what others are doing) is attractive to the feminine.
Menopause: What men need to know is it’s not a matter of IF but WHEN.
Men who have already become the attractive leader and rock in their relationships (before menopause strikes) won’t take her moods personally.
He won’t beg, argue, complain or sulk when she’s having a bad day.
He’s understanding when she’s not down for sex.
He’s the lighthouse that leads her home.
That’s what a great man does for his wife.
