In this episode of Divorce Explained, Steve Benmor and Leanne Townsend tackle a topic that is rarely discussed but affects millions of families: the connection between perimenopause and divorce.
Perimenopause is a natural stage of life that impacts nearly every woman, yet many couples enter this chapter with little understanding of the physical, emotional, and relational changes it can bring. From mood changes and insomnia to shifts in intimacy and communication, these symptoms can place significant strain on marriages when they are misunderstood or left unaddressed.
Steve and Leanne explore why greater awareness, education, and support are needed—not only for women, but also for their partners, families, medical professionals, and even family lawyers. They discuss how a lack of understanding can lead couples to misinterpret symptoms as relationship problems, and how better communication and resources may help some couples navigate this transition without unnecessary conflict.
If you're experiencing perimenopause, supporting someone who is, or simply want to better understand this important life stage, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
