Biologically, both women and men are 'defined' by their hormone balance between estrogen and testosterone with about 60/40% respectively for women and 40/60% for men.

In about the same proportions, women tend to 'think' with their feelings; right brain dominant. And men tend to 'feel' with their thinking; left brain dominant. The exception to this rule is 'Alpha females' - a masculine spirit incarnate in a woman's body... and 'Omega males' - a feminine spirt incarnate in a man's body.

So hormonally we are 'wired differently'.  This is psychologically controversial but biologically irrefutable.

Both men and women go
 go through hormonal
reversal later in life.

It's well documented that woman go through menopause - a pause in their production of estrogen - just as men go through 'testerpause'. Sexist media rarely mentions testerpause and focuses on menopause as if women have more of an issue with the 'big change' than men do.
 
Women's health is their greatest wealth and a blessing for men.  Most women understand that intuitively. Most men are hormonally clueless.  Laugh if you will, but it helps to understand this important dynamic in relationship health.
 
The role that hormones play in mature relationships includes a natural process of 'role reversal' as the balance of estrogen and testosterone are reversed.  But only until the last few generations have humans lived long enough for this natural process to be well fulfilled and acted out, often with big drama.
 
I'm speaking in general terms, and there are obvious exceptions that get lots of attention, but consider the truth in what I'm saying, and judge for yourself.
 
Most men and many women are largely ignorant of what happens to their endocrine system as they mature... and how the body tries to maintain "homeostasis" (balance), even when dominant hormonal roles reverse. A healthy immune system secretes sufficient hormones to self-regulate during the 'Big Shift'.  A weak immune system doesn't adapt well.
 
It's natural that men become more sensitive with lower testosterone levels and higher estrogen levels.  It's natural that they express feelings more, cry easier, and reflect on their life with more regret for lack of sensitivity to women in their life.

Men's blessing for loving kindness is to soften their heart, experience joy and rejuvenate their constitution thereby.  Women's health in a relationship with a mature man will experience what her man is experiencing... and visa versa.  When the 'Big Shift' happens to either, it naturally affects the other.
 
What I'm saying is that a lot of maturing relationships would benefit from this understanding. 

The reversal in hormonal balance
is when most divorces occur.

There is two ways to look at this.  One way is that women become more masculine and assertive in the relationship, and that causes an identity crisis in some men. Likewise - as men become more feminine and sensitive - women are more likely to reciprocate with any emotional abuse they may have received from men in the past.

Ideally both partners will always have enlightened compassion for each other, but that's not always the case. That's when the one partner must 'hold the balance' for the other... with understanding and forgiveness that redirects behavior for the good of both.
 
That's what any good marriage relationship does, all sexism aside.  Two-in-One is the same 'heavenly' principle found in our universe where binary stars are the norm... but I digress.
 
Hormonal balance is the holy grail of a healthy endocrine-immunity system, but hormonal harmony for a strong immune system is not well understood as a big factor in mastering the 'Big Shift' in mature relationships.
 
We can't ignore the hormonal terrain that goes with the territory, so to speak.

Is it true -- as numerous studies show -- that optimists live far longer than pessimists?  Are you aware that this is also true of loving relationships?  And would you agree that what you do to improve your immune system also improves how you 'adapt' in any relationship?
 
Adaptogens are those nutrients that help the body to adapt to stress as produces stress hormones like cortisol which weakens the immune system.
 
For many years I did custom manufacturing for nutrition companies, formulating products high in superior adaptogens like Siberian Ginseng and "Swedish Pollen Extract" (SPX). What I've found in decades of research and product development is that there is no adaptogen for humans more effective than SPX for feeding the endocrine system, glands and hormone production governing self-regulating homeostasis and holistic health.
 
Whether you are in a relationship with a significant other - or your Self - stay in tune with your body, be compassionate with others as your Self, and read more about SPX at pollenX.com to see how it keeps your immune system strong.
